Current report
On June 20, 2025, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (“Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, based on the closing bid price of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share for the prior 30 consecutive business days we no longer comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Global Market (the “Bid Price Notice”). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we are entitled to a 180-day period, ending on December 17, 2025, to rectify the deficiency. In order to do so, we must achieve and maintain a minimum bid price of at least $1 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If we do not regain compliance by December 17, 2025, the Bid Price Notice states that we will receive written notification that our securities are subject to delisting. Alternatively, we may be eligible for an additional 180-calendar day compliance period if we elect to transfer to The Nasdaq Capital Market to take advantage of the additional compliance period offered on that market. To qualify, we will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and will need to provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split if necessary. If we do not regain compliance within the compliance period(s), including any extensions that may be granted by Nasdaq, then the common stock will be subject to delisting. We intend to monitor the closing bid price of our common stock and consider our available options to resolve the noncompliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with The Nasdaq Global Market’s continued listing requirements or that Nasdaq will grant us a further extension of time to regain compliance, if applicable.
Current report
On August 1, 2025, our Board of Directors approved a retention program, pursuant to which certain executive officers and key employees (“Officers”), including our Chief Financial Officer, Svai Sanford, will receive cash retention payments (the “Retention Program”) subject to certain condition, including continuous employment through the end of the payment period. In connection with the adoption of the Retention Program, we have entered into, or expect to enter into, a Retention Agreement (the “Retention Agreements”) with each Officer, pursuant to which each Officer is entitled to receive cash payments equal to four months of their respective annual salaries, payable in two equal installments. Mr. Sanford’s aggregate retention payment is equal to $139,000.
Current report
Pursuant to the Retention Agreements, if an Officer is terminated for cause or resigns from employment for any reason prior to October 15, 2025, such Officer will be required to repay the pre-tax amount of the retention payment pursuant to the terms set forth in the Retention Agreements.

Previous wording
As of March 31, 2025, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $15.9 million. Based on our available cash resources and current operating plan, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern and holders of our common stock could suffer a total loss of their investment. Our Board of Directors had initiated a review of alternatives, including potential strategic options, and of our financing strategy. Any failure or delay to obtain additional funding could force us to delay, limit or terminate our operations, make reductions in our workforce, liquidate all or a portion of our assets and/or seek protection under Chapter 7 or 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Our existing capital resources will not be sufficient to enable us to initiate any pivotal clinical trials. We will need to raise substantial additional funds in the future in order to complete the development of the RaniPill platform, to complete the clinical development of our product candidates, including RT-114, and seek regulatory approval thereof, to expand our manufacturing capabilities, and to commercialize any of our product candidates.

Previous wording
Based on our current planned operations, and in the absence of additional sources of liquidity, management anticipates that our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations, will not be sufficient to meet our operating and liquidity needs beyond early August 2025. If we are unable to raise additional funds and continue as a going concern, we may have to cease operations and liquidate our assets. We may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our audited financial statements, and investors may lose all or a part of their investment.
Current wording
Based on our current planned operations, and in the absence of additional sources of liquidity, management anticipates that our existing cash and cash equivalents and anticipated cash flows from operations, will not be sufficient to meet our operating and liquidity needs beyond late September 2025. If we are unable to raise additional funds and continue as a going concern, we may have to cease operations and liquidate our assets. We may receive less than the value at which those assets are carried on our audited financial statements, and investors may lose all or a part of their investment.
Previous wording
We may not be able to obtain additional funding on acceptable terms, or at all. As a result of geopolitical events, including the conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza, inflation, rising interest rates and other conditions, the global credit and financial markets have experienced volatility and disruptions. In addition, the report from our independent registered public accounting firm issued in connection with this Annual Report on Form 10-K contains statements expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Previous wording
Our Class A common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. We are required to meet specified requirements to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, including, among others, a minimum market value of listed securities (“MVLS”), of $50,000,000 under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”).
Current wording
Our Class A common stock is currently listed on The Nasdaq Global Market. We are required to meet specified requirements to maintain our listing on The Nasdaq Global Market, including, among others, a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share of our class A common stock under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) (“Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and a minimum market value of listed securities (“MVLS”), of $50,000,000 under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(A) (the “MVLS Requirement”).
Previous wording
On May 1, 2025, we received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (“Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that we were not in compliance with the MVLS Requirement (the “Notice”). In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we were granted 180 calendar days, or until October 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. In order to do so, we must achieve and maintain an MVLS of at least $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If we do not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by October 28, 2025, the Notice states that we will receive written notification that our securities are subject to delisting. At that time, we may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. Alternatively, we may apply for a transfer of the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that we then meet the continued listing requirements on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We are considering actions that we may take in response to the Notice to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements, but no decisions about a response have been made at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria. For example, Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(1) requires listed securities to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”) and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive trading days. The per share price of our common stock has fluctuated significantly and has traded below $1.00 per share for the past 5 consecutive trading days. Our stock price may not close at or above $1.00 per share and if the price remains below $1.00 per share for a period of 30 consecutive trading days, our stock could become subject to delisting because of the failure to satisfy the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
Current wording
On May 1, 2025, we received written notice from the Staff notifying us that we were not in compliance with the MVLS Requirement (the “MVLS Notice”). In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we were granted 180 calendar days, or until October 28, 2025, to regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement. In order to do so, we must achieve and maintain an MVLS of at least $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. If we do not regain compliance with the MVLS Requirement by October 28, 2025, the MLVS Notice states that we will receive written notification that our securities are subject to delisting. At that time, we may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. Alternatively, we may apply for a transfer of the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that we then meet the continued listing requirements on The Nasdaq Capital Market. We are considering actions that we may take in response to the Notice to regain compliance with the continued listing requirements, but no decisions about a response have been made at this time. There can be no assurance that we will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
