Warrants Issued in Public Offerings

The Company issued warrants to a related party during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company sold pre-funded warrants to purchase 400,000 and 3,126,955 shares of common shares, respectively at a price of $0.01 per share (see Note 8 “Stockholders Equity”). The pre-funded warrants were acquired by funds affiliated with RTW (see Note 16 “Related Party Transactions”).

Assumed Renovacor Warrants

In conjunction with the acquisition of Renovacor, Rocket assumed pre-acquisition public warrants that were converted into Rocket warrants with a right to purchase 760,086 of Rocket common shares at an exercise price of $65.23 per share.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Renovacor, Rocket assumed pre-acquisition private warrants that were converted into Rocket warrants with a right to purchase 617,050 of Rocket common shares at an exercise price of $65.23 per share. The Company determined that the private warrants did not meet all of the criteria for equity classification. Accordingly, the Company classifies these as a derivative liability in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company measures the fair value of these warrantsat the end of each reporting period and recognizes changes in the fair value from the prior period in the Company’s operating results for the current period. See Note 4 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for discussion of fair value measurement of the warrant liability.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders was calculated as follows:

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to common stockholders$(61,334)$(62,054)
Denominator:
Weighted-average common shares outstanding - basic and diluted110,093,46193,549,884
Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted$(0.56)$(0.66)

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company included the 3,126,955 potential shares from the pre-funded warrants acquired by RTW in 2023 in the basic weighted-average common shares outstanding as the warrants only require the holder to pay $0.01 per share upon exercise.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company included the 3,126,955 potential shares from the pre-funded warrants acquired by RTW in 2023 and the 400,000 potential shares from the pre-funded warrants acquired by RTW in 2024 in the basic weighted-average common shares outstanding asthe warrants only require the holderto pay $0.01 per share upon exercise.

The Company excluded the following potential shares of common stock, presented based on amounts outstanding at each period end, from the computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the periods indicated because including them would have had an anti-dilutive effect:
