Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, or otherwise.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all potentially available relevant information.

RANI THERAPEUTICS HOLDINGS, INC.

Notes to THE 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 (prior to December 15, 2022), are collectively referred to herein as “Rani” or the “Company.” RMS was dissolved on December 15, 2022.

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 therapeutics using its proprietary delivery technology, the RaniPill capsule. The Company is headquartered in San Jose, California and operates in 1one 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 economic nonvoting Class A Unitsunits (“Class A Units”) and an equal number of voting noneconomic Class B units (“Class B Units”) and (ii) all non-vested incentive units (“Profits InterestsInterests”) 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 June 30, 2022,2023, 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 $29.835.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.2023. As of June 30, 2022,2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $22.256.6 million and for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 had negative cash flows from operations of $19.724.5 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

10


expects that its cash, and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $97.274.6 million as of June 30, 20222023 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, such as “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, 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.of its product candidates. 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”) pandemicCurrent global economic conditions or other factors could also adversely impact the Company’s ability to access capital when and as needed.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with current period presentation.

The Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Rani LLC and, through Rani LLC and its subsidiary, conducts its business. Because the Company manages and operates the business and controls the strategic decisions and day-to-day operations of Rani LLC and also has a substantial financial interest in Rani LLC, the Company consolidates the financial results of Rani LLC, and a portion of its net loss is allocated to the non-controlling interests in Rani LLC held by the Continuing LLC Owners. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Organizational Transactions were considered transactions between entities under common control. As a result, the condensed consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the IPO and the Organizational Transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.

Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and pursuant to Form 10-Q of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position and the results of the Company's operations and cash flows for interim periods in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature except for the adoption of the new lease accounting standard.nature. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 20222023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 20222023 or for any future period.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 20212022 included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 20212022 consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.22, 2023.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. TheseThe Company evaluates its estimates and assumptions are based on current facts,an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on its historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expensesalso on assumptions that we believe are not readily apparent from other sources. Estimates include, but are not limited to equity-based compensation expense, accrued research and development costs and, until the occurrence of the Company's IPO, the fair value of Profits Interests and preferred unit warrants. Actualreasonable; however, actual results may differ materially and adversely from these estimates.

Significant Accounting Policies

A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited consolidated financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.2022. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2022.2023.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains accounts in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company also holds money market funds that are not federally insured. However, management believes the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial strength of the depository institutions in which these deposits are held and of the money market funds and other entities in which these investments are made.

Marketable Securities

The Company regularly reviews its investments for declines in fair value below their amortized cost basis to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. The Company's review includes the creditworthiness of the security issuers, the severity of the unrealized losses, whether the Company has the intent to sell the securities and whether it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before the recovery of its amortized cost bases. When the Company determines that a pandemic.portion of the unrealized loss is due to an expected credit loss, the Company recognizes the loss amount in Other income (expense), net, with a corresponding allowance against the carrying value of the security the Company holds. The extentportion of the unrealized loss related to which the COVID-19 pandemic will further directly or indirectly impact the Company's results of operation and financial conditionfactors other than credit losses is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are to be classified and disclosed in one of the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs (other than Level 1 quoted prices), such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to determining the fair value of the assets or liabilities, including pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques.

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt approximated its carrying value based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 2 inputs).

Leases

Prior to January 1, 2022,To the extent that the valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised by the Company had one cancelable operating lease agreementin determining fair value is greatest for its corporate headquarters and recognized related rent expense on a straight-line basis overinstruments categorized in Level 3. A financial instrument’s level within the term of the lease. The Company’s lease agreement contained termination and renewal options. The Company did not assume termination nor renewals options in its determination of the lease term unless they were deemed to be reasonably certain at the renewal of the lease. The Company began recognizing rent expense on the date that it obtained the legal right to use and control the leased space.

Subsequent to the adoption of the new leasing standard on January 1, 2022, the Company determines whether the arrangementfair value hierarchy is or contains a lease based on the unique facts and circumstances present atlowest level of any input that is significant to the inceptionfair value of the arrangement and if such a lease is classified as a financing lease or operating lease. The Company has elected not to recognize on the balance sheet leases with terms of one year or less. For any arrangement that is considered to be a lease with a term greater than one year, the Company recognizes a lease asset for its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability for the corresponding lease obligation. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease contract. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term. In determining the net present value of lease payments, the interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable. As such, the Company utilizes the appropriate incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. Certain adjustments to the ROU asset may be required for items such as initial direct costs paid or incentives received and impairment charges if we determine the ROU asset is impaired. The Company considers a lease term to be the noncancelable period during which it has the right to use the underlying asset, including any periods where it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option to extend the contract. Periods covered by an option to extend are included in the lease term if the lessor controls the exercise of that option.

The operating lease ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. The Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for its leased assets and accounts for all lease and non-lease components of its agreements as a single lease component. The lease components resulting in a ROU asset have been recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheet and amortized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.instrument.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In August 2021, in connection with the IPO and Organizational Transactions, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement ("TRA") with certain of the Continuing LLC Owners. The TRA provides that the Company 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 the Company’s taxable income based on the contractual percentage of the benefit of Tax Attributes that the Company expects to receive over a period of time (Note 10)12).

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss is defined as a change in equity of a business enterprise during a period, resulting from transactions and other events and/or circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company did not have any otherOther comprehensive loss for anyrepresents changes in fair value of the periods presented, and therefore comprehensive loss was the same as the Company’s net loss.Company's available-for-sale marketable securities.

Net Loss Per Class A Common Share Attributable to Rani Holdings

Basic net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Holdings is computed by dividing net loss attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of Class A common shares outstanding during the period, without consideration of potential dilutive securities. Diluted net loss per Class A common share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares. Diluted net loss per Class A common share for all periods presented is the same as basic loss per share as the inclusion of potentially issuable shares would be antidilutive. Net loss per share is not presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 as the Company did not have any economic interests prior to the date of the IPO and Organizational Transactions through which it was given ownership in Rani LLC. Losses prior to the IPO and Organizational Transactions would have been allocated to the original members of Rani LLC. The basic and diluted net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Holdings is applicable only for the periods following the IPO and Organizational Transactions and represents the periods that the Company had Class A common shares outstanding.

Non-Controlling Interest

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

In August 2021, based on the Organizational Transactions, Rani Holdings became the sole managing member of Rani LLC. As of June 30, 2022,2023, Rani Holdings held approximately 48%50% of the Class A Units of Rani LLC, and approximately 5250% of the outstanding Class A Units of Rani LLC are held by the Continuing LLC Owners. Therefore, the Company reports NCI based on the Class A Units of Rani LLC held by the Continuing LLC Owners on its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.2023. 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 June 30, 2022,2023, there were 4,626,6395,173,947 exchanges of Paired Interests and 158,051 exchanges of non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC for an equal number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (“Topic 842”), as subsequently amended, to improve financial reporting and disclosures about leasing transactions. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach and elected the package of practical expedients permitted under transition guidance, which allowed the Company to carry forward its historical assessments of: 1) whether contracts are or contain leases, 2) lease classification and 3) initial direct costs, where applicable. The Company did not elect the practical expedient allowing the use-of-hindsight which would require the Company to reassess the lease term of its leases based on all facts and circumstances through the effective date and did not elect the practical expedient pertaining to land easements as this is not applicable to the current contract portfolio. The Company elected the post-transition practical expedient to not separate lease components from non-lease components for all existing lease classes. The Company also elected a policy of not recording leases on its condensed balance sheets when the leases have a term of twelve months or less and the Company is not reasonably certain to elect an option to purchase the leased asset.

The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of a ROU asset and lease liabilities of $1.3 million, respectively. The adoption of the standard had no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss or to its cash flows from or used in operating, financing, or investing activities on its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. No cumulative-effect adjustment within accumulated deficit was required to be recorded as a result of adopting this standard.

As of June 2016,30, 2023, all marketable securities are classified as short-term. The Company regularly reviews its available-for-sale marketable securities in an unrealized loss position and evaluates the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (“ASU 2016-13”) to requirecurrent expected credit loss by considering factors such as historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, and current economic conditions. As of June 30, 2023, the measurementaggregate difference between the amortized cost and fair value of each security in an unrealized loss position was de minimis. Since any provision for expected credit losses for financial instrumentsa security held atis limited to the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions and reasonable forecasts. The main objective of ASU 2016-13amount the fair value is to provide financial statement users with more decision-useful information about theless than its amortized cost, no allowance for expected credit losses on financial instruments and other commitments to extend credit held by a reporting entityloss was deemed necessary at each reporting date. As a result of the Company having elected the extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act, and assuming the Company continues to be considered an emerging growth company, ASU 2016-13 will be effective for the Company on January 1,June 30, 2023. The Company has not yet determined the potential effects of ASU 2016-13 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

MoneyLevel 1 and Level 2 financial instruments are comprised of investments in money market funds and fixed-income securities. The Company estimates the fair value of its Level 2 financial instruments by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The third-party pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, for which all significant inputs are highly liquid and actively traded marketable securities that generally transact at a stable $1.00 net asset value representing its estimatedobservable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; and other observable inputs.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for any of the periods presented.

The Company held a Level 3 liability associated with preferred unit warrants that were issued in conjunction with a loan and security Agreement. These preferred unit warrants were settled with Class A common stock as part of the IPO and Organizational Transactions.

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.

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.

As of June 30, 2022,2023, 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 0zero to $20.422.9 million at June 30, 2022.2023.

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. Income TaxesLong-Term Debt

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 it, based on 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 (0.51)% and (0.21)% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of the exchanges for the six months ended June 30, 2022 (Note 8), the Company recorded a $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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and the Company does not anticipate material changes within the next 12 months.

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 iswas 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, which was drawn in December 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 exchange for access to this facility, the Company agreed

19


to issue warrants exercisable into 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 (Note 8).

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 (extendableextendable 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%.

22


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.

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 management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other information 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, 2021,2022, 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, 2021.2022. Please also see the section titled “Forward Looking Statements.”

The following discussion contains references to calendar year 20212022 and the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively, which represents the condensed consolidated financial results of Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiariessubsidiary, Rani Therapeutics, LLC and, prior to December 15, 2022, Rani Management Systems, Inc., for the year ended December 31, 20212022 and the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, 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 stageclinical-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 therapeutics using our proprietary delivery technology.

We are developing and clinically testing a drug-agnostic oral delivery platform, the RaniPill capsule, which is designed to deliver a wide variety of drugs,drug substances, including large molecules such as peptides, proteins, and antibodies. The current RaniPill capsule, the RaniPill GO, 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 currentThe RaniPill capsuleGO is optimized to orally deliver a variety of 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 an initial public offering ("IPO"), private placements of Rani LLC preferred units, the issuance of convertible promissory notes, long-term debt, 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 or engage commercial sales organizations or distributors 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.

24


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,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 invested and plan to continue to invest in automated

22


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.

ClinicalDevelopment Update

We completed the single-ascending dose portion (part 1)RT-105

In June 2023, we entered into a License and Supply Agreement with Celltrion, Inc. (“Celltrion”) under which we receive an exclusive license and supply of ourCelltrion’s adalimumab biosimilar for development and commercialization of RT-105 worldwide, subject to a right of first negotiation for Celltrion following completion of a Phase 1 clinical study of RT-102, atrial that meets its primary endpoint(s) (the “Celltrion Agreement”). RT-105 is the RaniPill capsule containing a proprietary formulation of human parathyroid hormone (PTH) analog PTH (1-34)an adalimumab biosimlar, which we are developing for the potential treatment of osteoporosis (“Study Part 1”inflammatory conditions.

Financial Update

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 Study PartLoan Agreement provides for term loans (the “Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount up to $45.0 million. A Loan of $30.0 million was committed at closing, with $15.0 million funded immediately and $15.0 million available to be drawn between October 1, achieved all2022 and December 31, 2022, which was drawn in December 2022. The remaining $15.0 million of its endpoints, with RT-102 being generally well-toleratedLoans is uncommitted and demonstrating high oral bioavailability of our PTH analog. We have also initiated part 2is subject to certain conditions and approval by the Lender. The purpose of the clinical study which will involve 7-day repeat dosingLoans is for general corporate purposes. The Loan Agreement also contains various covenants and restrictive provisions. As of RT-102June 30, 2023, we were 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,compliance with no RaniPill-related adverse events (AEs) observed in study participants:
o
0% (0/15) of participants dosed with RT-102 20μg experienced drug-related AEs.
o
14% (2/14) of participants dosed with of RT-102 80μg experienced drug-related AEs.
o
50% (5/10) of participants dosed with 20μg of Forteo SC experienced drug-related AEs.
o
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 areaapplicable debt covenants under the curve (AUC) than Forteo SC 20μg.

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 Acash, cash equivalents and Version B); and Version D, the latest iteration of the RaniPill.
marketable securities totaling $74.6 million.
New RaniPill Version D demonstrated a higher drug delivery success rate than Version C:
o
95% (20/21) of participants received successful drug delivery when ingesting RaniPill Version D.
o
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, in August 2022, we entered into a Controlled EquitySM Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively, the “Agents”), pursuant to Study Part 1which we may offer and sell from time to time through the Agents up to $150 million of RT-102,shares of our Class A common stock, in such share amounts as we also conducted a 6-week pharmacodynamic (PD) studymay specify by notice to the Agents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement (“ATM Sales”). As of June 30, 2023, we had not delivered any placement notices to either 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)Agents and ovariectomy (OVX) (N=10) receivingthere had been 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).ATM Sales.

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. 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.subsidiary at such time, Rani Management Services, Inc. (“RMS”). 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 subsidiaryRMS (prior to December 15, 2022) are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company. RMS was dissolved as of December 15, 2022.

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”),RMS, which was incorporated in 2019 isand dissolved in December 2022, was 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

23


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.

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 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 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 capsuleGO 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,GO, 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-basedstock-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.

28


At this time, we cannot reasonably estimate or know the nature, timing, and estimated costs of the efforts that will be necessary to complete development of the RaniPill GO and RaniPill HC and complete the development of, and obtain regulatory approval for, the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC.our product candidates. 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 capsuleGO and RaniPill HC and the development of our product candidates, 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 HCour product candidates 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 capsuleGO and

24


RaniPill HC and our product candidates is highly uncertain, and we may never succeed in achievingsuccessfully developing the RaniPill GO and/or RaniPill HC or achieve the development of, and regulatory approval for, the RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC.our product candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related costs (including salaries, bonuses, equity-basedstock-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 capsuleGO and RaniPill HC.HC and our product candidates. 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 equivalents and cash equivalents.marketable securities and interest expense from our long-term debt and amortization of debt discount and issuance costs.

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 June 30, 2022,2023, the Company held approximately 48%50% of the Class A Units of Rani LLC, and approximately 52%50% 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 June 30, 2022.2023. 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 June 30, 2022,2023, there were 4,626,6395,173,947 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.

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

29


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,and long-term debt, 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 June 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $97.2 million.

In August 2022, we entered into the Loan Agreement with the LenderLender. The Loan Agreement provides for the Loans in an aggregate principal amount up to $45.0 million. A Loan of $30.0 million (See “—Recent Developments” above for a discussionwas 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, which was drawn in December 2022. The remaining $15.0 million of Loans is uncommitted and is subject to certain conditions and approval by the Lender. The purpose of the Loans is for general corporate purposes. The Loan Agreement).Agreement also contains various covenants and restrictive provisions. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants under the Loan Agreement and had cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $74.6 million.

In August 2022, we entered into the Sales Agreement with the Agents, pursuant to which we may offer and sell from time to time through the Agents up to $150.0 million of shares of our Class A common stock in ATM Sales. As of June 30, 2023, we had not delivered any placement notices to either of the Agents and there had been no ATM Sales.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and negative cash flows from operations. Our net losses were $29.8$35.5 million and $11.1$29.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 20222023 and 2021,2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2022,2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $22.2$56.6 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, which may include ATM Sales, 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.

34


As of June 30, 2022,2023, 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 $20.4$22.9 million at June 30, 2022.2023.

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.

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 twelve months from the next twelve months.date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. 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 capsuleGO, RaniPill HC and RaniPill HCour product candidates and because the extent to which we may enter into strategic collaborations or other arrangements with third parties for development of the RaniPill capsule andGO, RaniPill HC and/or our product candidates 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 capsuleGO, RaniPill HC and RaniPill HC.our product candidates. 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, which may include ATM Sales, 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”),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 our product candidates or collaborator drugs or biologics paired with the RaniPill GO capsule andand/or 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;

35


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; and

31


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.future.

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.trials or delay investments in our manufacturing scale-up and automation. 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 inglobally.

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, 2021,2022, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022.22, 2023.

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.None.

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

33


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$1.235 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 June 30, 2022.2023.

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 June 30, 20222023 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

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

Other than as described below, management believes that there have been no significant changes to the risk factors associated with our business as compared to those disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021,2022, which is incorporated by reference herein.

Any inability to develop, or difficulties or delays in developing, formulations of drugs for our product candidates could prevent or delay our ability to advance our existing product candidates or develop new product candidates, which could adversely affect our commercial prospects and ability to generate revenues.

We develop microtablets of drugs for use in the RaniPill GO and may need to develop or modify formulations of drugs for use in the RaniPill HC. Drug formulation work is difficult and the outcomes are uncertain. If we are not able to develop a drug formulation suitable for use with our RaniPill capsule, it could prevent, limit or delay our ability to pursue or advance product candidates. Even if we are successful in developing drug formulations of product candidates that are suitable for the RaniPill capsule, such formulations may cause the drug to perform differently than another formulation of the drug and could result in our product candidates having a safety or efficacy profile different or worse than other formulations of the drug. If we are unable to develop, or have difficulties or delays in developing, suitable formulations of drugs for the RaniPill capsule, our ability to develop and commercialize product candidates, to expand use of the RaniPill oral delivery technology and to generate revenues could be adversely affected.

Any difficulties or delays in the commencement or completion, or termination or suspension, of our current or planned clinical trials could result in increased costs to us, delay or limit our ability to generate revenue and adversely affect our commercial prospects.

Before obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities for the sale of our product candidates, we must conduct extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates in humans. We are in the early stages of our development efforts and have a limited number of product candidates in early clinical development. Other product candidates are still in the formulation or preclinical stages. While we intend to advance our product candidates into initial and later stages of clinical development, we have not, to date, submitted an IND for any of our product candidates. We will be required to submit applicable equivalent regulatory filings to foreign regulatory authorities to the extent we initiate clinical trials outside of the United States.

We do not know whether our planned clinical trials will begin on time or be completed on schedule, if at all. The commencement and completion of clinical trials can be delayed for a number of reasons, including delays related to:

the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities disagreeing with the design or implementation of our clinical trials;
obtaining regulatory authorizations to commence a trial, or reaching a consensus with regulatory authorities on trial design;
any failure or delay in reaching an agreement with contract research organizations (“CROs”) and clinical trial sites, the terms of which can be subject to extensive negotiation and may vary significantly among different CROs and trial sites;
obtaining approval from one or more IRBs;
IRBs refusing to approve, suspending or terminating the trial at an investigational site, precluding enrollment of additional volunteers or withdrawing their approval of the trial;
changes to clinical trial protocol;
clinical sites deviating from trial protocol or dropping out of a trial;
manufacturing sufficient quantities of a product candidate or obtaining sufficient quantities of other therapies or active pharmaceutical ingredients for use in clinical trials;

35


volunteers failing to enroll or remain in our trial at the rate we expect, or failing to return for post-treatment follow-up;
volunteers choosing an alternative treatment for the indication for which we are developing our product candidates, or participating in competing clinical trials;
lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial;
volunteers experiencing severe or unexpected drug-related or device-related adverse effects;
occurrence of serious adverse events in clinical trials of the same class of agents conducted by other companies;
selection of clinical endpoints that require prolonged periods of clinical observation or analysis of the resulting data;
a facility manufacturing our product candidates or any of their components being ordered by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities to temporarily or permanently shut down due to violations of cGMP regulations or other applicable requirements, or infections or cross-contaminations of product candidates in the manufacturing process;
any changes to our manufacturing process or product formulation that may be necessary or desired;
shortages in, or delays in obtaining, raw materials for manufacturing our product candidates or adequately scaling our manufacturing processes and procedures to deliver sufficient quantities for use in our clinical trials;
third-party clinical investigators losing the licenses or permits necessary to perform our clinical trials, not performing our clinical trials on our anticipated schedule or consistent with the clinical protocol or relevant regulatory requirements;
third-party contractors not performing data collection or analysis in a timely or accurate manner; or
third-party contractors becoming debarred or suspended or otherwise penalized by the FDA or other government or comparable foreign regulatory authorities for violations of regulatory requirements, in which case we may need to find a substitute contractor, and we may not be able to use some or all of the data produced by such contractors in support of our marketing applications.

Regulatory authorities may require that filings related to the commencement, continuation or termination of a clinical trial be submitted through specific electronic systems or in a specific manner (e.g. format), which may differ from one jurisdiction to another. We may seek to conduct a clinical trial in multiple jurisdictions in an effort to enroll sufficient numbers of patients or to do so in a timely manner or for other reasons. Meeting the requirements of various regulatory agencies could be costly and any delay in meeting, or inability to meet, the regulatory requirements of different jurisdictions regarding submissions could delay or negatively impact our ability to initiate or complete our clinical trials as planned. For example, the European Medicines Agency maintains an electronic Clinical Trial Information System (CTIS) to support interactions between clinical trial sponsors and regulatory agencies for various European Union member states and European Economic Area countries. Clinical trial sponsors can use the CTIS system to apply for authorization to conduct a clinical trial in one or more of such countries. The CTIS system has experienced certain technical issues delaying or preventing sponsors from submitting clinical trial applications. Any failure or inability by us to submit required regulatory documents for our planned or future clinical trials or any failure or inability to do so in the required manner could delay or prevent us from initiating or completing our planned or future clinical trials when we are otherwise ready or at all.

We could also encounter delays if a clinical trial is suspended or terminated by us, by the IRBs of the institutions in which such trials are being conducted, by a Data Safety Monitoring Board for such trial or by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities. Such authorities may impose such a suspension or termination due to a number of factors, including failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or our clinical protocols, inspection of the clinical trial operations or trial site by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities resulting in the imposition of a clinical hold, unforeseen safety issues or adverse side effects, failure to demonstrate a benefit from using a drug, changes in governmental regulations or administrative actions or lack of adequate funding to continue the clinical trial. In addition, changes in regulatory requirements and policies may occur, and we may need to amend clinical trial protocols to comply with these changes. Amendments may require us to resubmit our clinical protocols to IRBs for reexamination, which may impact the costs, timing or successful completion of a clinical trial.

Further, conducting clinical trials in foreign countries, as we may do for our product candidates, presents additional risks that may delay completion of our clinical trials. These risks include the failure of enrolled participants in foreign countries to adhere to clinical protocol as a result of differences in healthcare services or cultural customs, managing additional administrative burdens associated with foreign regulatory schemes and data protection regulations, as well as political and economic risks relevant to such foreign countries.

Moreover, principal investigators for our clinical trials may serve as scientific advisors or consultants to us from time to time and receive compensation in connection with such services. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to report some of

36


these relationships to the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities. The FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may conclude that a financial relationship between us and a principal investigator has created a conflict of interest or otherwise affected interpretation of the study. The FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may therefore question the integrity of the data generated at the applicable clinical trial site and the utility of the clinical trial itself may be jeopardized. This could result in a delay in approval, or rejection, of our marketing applications by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities, as the case may be, and may ultimately lead to the denial of marketing approval of one or more of our product candidates.

In addition, we work with third parties to manufacture, develop, and supply the drug payloads for inclusion in the RaniPill capsule, a development process that is lengthy and expensive. Some of the active ingredients we are utilizing in our development are used by other sponsors to make biosimilars in the United States, and others are not. We and our third-party manufacturers may discover, even late in the process, that a particular drug payload does not demonstrate the necessary characteristics or is unacceptable to the FDA or other regulatory authorities, and we may be forced to abandon such manufacturing and development efforts for such compound and pursue alternative sourcing, or conduct additional, more involved development work to be able to use such compound, which could have an adverse effect on our operations.

If we experience delays in the completion of, or termination of, any clinical trial of our product candidates, the commercial prospects of our product candidates will be harmed, and our ability to generate product revenues from any of these product candidates will be delayed. Moreover, any delays in completing our clinical trials will increase our costs, slow down our product candidate development and approval process and jeopardize our ability to commence product sales and generate revenues.

In addition, many of the factors that cause, or lead to, termination or suspension of, or a delay in the commencement or completion of, clinical trials may also ultimately lead to the denial of regulatory approval of a product candidate. We may make formulation or manufacturing changes to our product candidates, in which case we may need to conduct additional preclinical studies or clinical trials to bridge our modified product candidates to earlier versions. Any delays to our clinical trials that occur as a result could shorten any period during which we may have the exclusive right to commercialize our product candidates and our competitors may be able to bring products to market before we do, and the commercial viability of our product candidates could be significantly reduced. Any of these occurrences may harm our business, financial condition and prospects significantly.

We may not be successful in maintaining or obtaining formulation and manufacturing collaborations, and any potential partner may not devote sufficient resources to the formulation and manufacturing of our product candidates or may otherwise fail in formulation and manufacturing efforts, which could adversely affect our ability to develop certain of our product candidates and adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

In the past, we have entered into evaluation agreements with Takeda and certain other pharmaceutical companies concerning the formulation and manufacture of oral versions of Factor VIII and other molecules. In January 2023, we entered into a License and Supply Agreement with Celltrion, under which we receive supply of ustekinumab biosimilar from Celltrion for RT-111 and Celltrion has a right of first negotiation to obtain development and commercialization rights for RT-111 after completion of a Phase 1 clinical trial that meets its primary endpoint(s). In May 2023, we entered into another License and Supply Agreement with Celltrion, under which we receive supply of adalimumab biosimilar from Celltrion for RT-105 and Celltrion has a right of first negotiation to obtain development and commercialization rights for RT-105 after completion of a Phase 1 clinical trial that meets its primary endpoint(s). If we complete such a clinical trial for RT-111 or RT-105, Celltrion exercises its right of first negotiation, and the parties enter into an agreement granting Celltrion development and commercialization rights, we may be reliant on Celltrion to develop and commercialize the applicable product in certain countries or worldwide.

Future evaluation agreements, supply agreements or collaborations entered into, may not ultimately be successful, which could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects. While we plan to expand our reach by selectively entering into strategic partnerships, we may not be able to enter into such partnerships, and if we do, we may not be able to maintain significant rights or control of future development and commercialization of our product candidates. Accordingly, if we collaborate with a third party for development and commercialization of a product candidate, we may relinquish some or all of the control over the future success of that product candidate to the third party, and that partner may not devote sufficient resources to the formulation and manufacture of our product candidate or may otherwise fail in these efforts, in which event the formulation and manufacture of the product candidate in the collaboration could be delayed or terminated and our business could be substantially harmed.

We believe our product candidates are biologic-device combination products that we anticipate will be regulated under the biologic regulations of the FDA based on their primary mode of action as a biologic. Third-party manufacturers may not be able to comply with the regulatory requirements, known as cGMP, applicable to biologic-device combination products, including applicable provisions of the FDA’s drug and biologics cGMP regulations, device cGMP requirements embodied in the medical device Quality System Regulations ("QSRs"), or similar regulatory requirements outside the United States. Our failure, or the failure of our

37


third-party manufacturers, to comply with applicable regulations could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including clinical holds, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, license revocation, seizures or recalls of product candidates, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions, any of which could significantly affect supplies of our product candidates. The facilities used by our contract manufacturers to manufacture our product candidates must be approved by the FDA pursuant to inspections that will be conducted after we submit any BLA or NDA to the FDA.

In addition, the terms of any potential collaboration or other arrangement that we may establish may not be favorable to us or may not be perceived as favorable, which may negatively impact the price of our Class A common stock. In some cases, we may be responsible for continuing formulation and manufacture of a product candidate under a collaboration, and the payments we receive from our partner may be insufficient to cover the cost of this work or may result in a dispute between the parties. Moreover, collaborations and sales and marketing arrangements are complex and time consuming to negotiate, document and implement and they may require substantial resources to maintain, which may be detrimental to the development of our other product candidates.

We are subject to a number of additional risks associated with our dependence on collaborations with third parties, the occurrence of which could cause our collaboration arrangements to fail. Conflicts may arise between us and partners, such as conflicts concerning the implementation of development plans, efforts and resources dedicated to the product candidate, interpretation of clinical data, the achievement of milestones, the interpretation of financial provisions or the ownership of intellectual property developed during the collaboration. If any such conflicts arise, a collaborator could act in its own self-interest, which may be adverse to our interests. Any such disagreement between us and a partner could result in one or more of the following, each of which could delay or prevent the development or commercialization of our product candidates, and in turn prevent us from generating sufficient revenue to achieve or maintain profitability:

reductions in the payment of royalties or other payments we believe are due pursuant to the applicable collaboration arrangement;
actions taken by a partner inside or outside our collaboration which could negatively impact our rights or benefits under our collaboration; or
unwillingness on the part of a partner to keep us informed regarding the progress of its development and commercialization activities or to permit public disclosure of the results of those activities.

In addition, the termination of a collaboration may limit our ability to obtain rights to the product or intellectual property developed by our collaborator under terms that would be sufficiently favorable for us to consider further development or investment in the terminated collaboration product candidate, even if it were returned to us.

We may seek to enter into collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements and may not be successful in doing so, and even if we are, we may not realize the benefits of such relationships.

We may seek to enter into, and have entered into, collaborations, joint ventures, licenses and other similar arrangements for the development or commercialization of our product candidates, due to capital costs required to develop or commercialize the product candidate or manufacturing constraints. We may not be successful in our efforts to establish or maintain such collaborations for our product candidates because our research and development pipeline may be insufficient, our product candidates may be deemed to be at too early of a stage of development for collaborative effort or third parties may not view our product candidates as having the requisite potential to demonstrate safety and efficacy or significant commercial opportunity. In addition, we face significant competition in seeking appropriate strategic partners, and the negotiation process can be time consuming and complex. Further, any future collaboration agreements may restrict us from entering into additional agreements with potential collaborators. Following a strategic transaction or license, we may not achieve an economic benefit that justifies such transaction.

In January 2023, we entered into a License and Supply Agreement with Celltrion, under which Celltrion has a right of first negotiation to obtain development and commercialization rights for RT-111 after completion of a Phase 1 clinical trial that meets its primary endpoint(s). In May 2023, we entered into another License and Supply Agreement with Celltrion, under which we receive supply of adalimumab biosimilar from Celltrion for RT-105 and Celltrion has a right of first negotiation to obtain development and commercialization rights for RT-105 after completion of a Phase 1 clinical trial that meets its primary endpoint(s). Even if we complete such a clinical trial for RT-111 or RT-105, Celltrion may not exercise its right of first negotiation, or if it does exercise such right we may not be able to agree on terms favorable to us or acceptable to us or Celltrion. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that we will complete the required development of RT-111 or RT-105, that Celltrion will exercise its right of first negotiation if we do, or that the parties will enter into an agreement granting Celltrion development and commercialization rights for the applicable product following any such exercise of the right of first negotiation.

38


Even if we are successful in our efforts to establish a collaboration with Celltrion or collaborations with other third parties, the terms that we agree upon may not be favorable to us, and we may not be able to maintain such collaborations if, for example, development or approval of a product candidate is delayed, the safety of a product candidate is questioned or sales of an approved product candidate are unsatisfactory.

In addition, any potential future collaborations may be terminable by our strategic partners, and we may not be able to adequately protect our rights under these agreements. Furthermore, strategic partners may negotiate for certain rights to control decisions regarding the development and commercialization of our product candidates, if approved, and may not conduct those activities in the same manner as we do. Any termination of collaborations that we may enter into in the future, or any delay in entering into collaborations related to our product candidates, could delay the development and commercialization of our product candidates and reduce their competitiveness if they reach the market, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our European patents are presently being challenged in Europe, and if one or more of such challenges is successful it could encourage such party or other parties to challenge additional patents of ours in Europe or other jurisdictions.

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”)(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 filesubsequently filed a notice of appeal with the EPO Appeal Board.Board and we are awaiting a final decision.

The fourth opposition proceeding involves European Patent No. 3653223, which is generally directed to a swallowable device. We are preparing an initial responseIn January 2023, the EPO issued a summons to the EPO.oral proceedings, which proceedings have been scheduled for October 2023.

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 any of the current oppositions results in a revocation or reduction in our patent protection, it could encourage Novo Nordisk As or other parties to seek to invalidate or reduce additional patents in Europe or other jurisdictions. If 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.Europe or the applicable jurisdiction(s).

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:are granted.

39


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.
