Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.

Other than 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, 2024.

Our collaboration with Chugai may not be successful, and we may not realize the anticipated benefits of the Collaboration and License Agreement.

In October 2025, we entered into the Collaboration and License Agreement with Chugai to develop, manufacture, seek regulatory approvals for and, if approved, commercialize the Product combining Chugai’s Compound, which is in development for hemophilia, and the Device for use in humans. Under the Collaboration and License Agreement, we are entitled to receive an upfront payment of $10.0 million within 30 days of Chugai receiving an invoice for the upfront payment after closing. We are eligible to receive up to $18.0 million in technology transfer milestones, up to $57.0 million in development milestones, up to $100.0 million in sales-based milestones, contingent upon approval and the commercial success of the product, and single-digit royalties on net sales, contingent on approval and commercialization of the Product. The success of this collaboration is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control.

Our ability to receive milestone or royalty payments depends on the achievement of specified technology transfer, development, regulatory, and commercial events, many of which depend on both parties' efforts and on the ultimate performance, approval and commercialization of the Product including the Compound and the Device. As a result, we may not receive any or all of the potential milestone or royalty payments contemplated by the Agreement.

Chugai has primary responsibility for preclinical and clinical development, regulatory filings, and commercialization of the Product, while we are responsible for development of the device and for certain manufacturing and supply activities. If Chugai fails to devote sufficient resources to the collaboration or otherwise determines to reprioritize or discontinue development of the Product, our ability to advance the program would be materially and adversely affected. Moreover, the development of the Product is subject to significant scientific, regulatory, and commercial risks inherent in drug and combination product development. There can be no assurance that the Product will successfully complete preclinical or clinical studies, obtain regulatory approval, or achieve commercial success, if approved.

In addition, Chugai holds certain options and rights under the Agreement, including a one-time right to replace the compound, a right of first refusal for certain additional drug targets, and options to extend its rights to additional drug targets. The exercise of these rights could alter the scope or economics of the collaboration, or may not occur at all, which could affect the potential value of the arrangement to us. If the collaboration is significantly delayed or terminates early, whether due to breach, convenience, or other circumstances, we may be unable to continue development of the Product. Any of these events could materially harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

We have in the past and may in the future fail to continue to meet the listing standards of Nasdaq, and as a result our common stock may be delisted, which could have a material adverse effect on the liquidity of our common stock.

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”).

On June 20, 2025, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff of Nasdaq (“Nasdaq Staff”) notifying us that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the bid price of our common stock had closed below $1.00 per share, and was not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. The notification received had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, we had 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement by having shares of our common stock maintain a minimum closing bid price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

On May 1, 2025, we received a letter from the Nasdaq Staff notifying us that we were not in compliance with the MVLS Requirement (the “MVLS Notice”). The notification received had no immediate effect on the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq. In accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we were granted 180 calendar days 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.

On November 4, 2025, we received two letters from the Nasdaq Staff. The first letter from the Nasdaq Staff indicated that the closing bid price of our Class A common stock had been at $1.00 per share or greater for the last 10 consecutive business days, from October 21, 2025, to November 3, 2025, and accordingly, we have regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(a)(1). The second letter from the Nasdaq Staff indicated that the MVLS of our Class A common stock had been at a value of at least $50,000,000 for the last 10 consecutive business days, from October 17, 2025, to October 30, 2025, and accordingly, we had regained compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5450(b)(2)(A). There can be no assurance that we will continue to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, MVLS requirement, or any other Nasdaq requirements in the future.

In addition, we may be unable to meet other applicable Nasdaq listing requirements, including maintaining minimum levels of stockholders’ equity or market values of our common stock, in which case our common stock could be delisted. If our common stock were to be delisted, the liquidity of our common stock would be adversely affected, and the market price of our common stock could decrease.

We operate in a global economy, which includes utilizing third-party suppliers in several countries outside the United States, including suppliers of drug substance for our pipeline programs and suppliers of certain raw materials for the manufacture of the RaniPill® capsule. There is inherent risk, based on the complex relationships among the U.S. and the countries in which we conduct our business, that political, diplomatic, and national security factors can lead to global trade restrictions and changes in trade policies and export regulations that may adversely affect our business and operations. The current international trade and regulatory environment is subject to significant ongoing uncertainty. The U.S. government has recently announced substantial new tariffs affecting a wide range of products and jurisdictions and has indicated an intention to continue developing new trade policies, including with respect to the pharmaceutical industry. In response, certain foreign governments have announced or implemented retaliatory tariffs and other protectionist measures. These developments have created a dynamic and unpredictable trade landscape, which may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We manufacture the RaniPill® capsule in the United States. We are vertically integrated and manufacture many of the components used in the RaniPill® capsule. We source raw materials for our components and manufacturing from a variety of suppliers. Currently, nearly all of the principal suppliers of our raw materials and externally-sourced components used to support our manufacturing come from suppliers located in the United States. The current principal supplier of one raw material is located in China. We obtain supply of the drug substances used for our pipeline programs from third parties. The drug substance for our RT-114 (bispecific GLP-1/GLP-2 receptor agonist) program is manufactured in Korea and China, and the drug substances for our RT-111 (ustekinumab biosimilar) and RT-105 (adalimumab biosimilar) programs are manufactured in Korea. The drug substance for our RT-102 (parathyroid hormone) and RT-110 programs is manufactured in the United States.

Current or future tariffs will result in increased research and development and manufacturing expenses, including with respect to increased costs associated with drug substances, raw materials, laboratory equipment and research materials and components. In addition, such tariffs will increase our supply chain complexity and could also potentially disrupt our existing supply chain. Trade restrictions affecting the import of materials necessary for clinical trials could result in delays to our development timelines. Increased development costs and extended development timelines could place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to companies operating in regions with more favorable trade relationships and could reduce investor confidence, negatively impacting our ability to secure additional financing or collaborations on favorable terms or at all. In addition, as we advance toward commercialization in the future, tariffs and trade restrictions could hinder our ability to establish cost-effective production capabilities, negatively impacting our growth prospects.

The complexity of announced or future tariffs may also increase the risk that we or our collaborators or suppliers may be subject to civil or criminal enforcement actions in the United States or foreign jurisdictions related to compliance with trade regulations. Foreign governments may also adopt non-tariff measures, such as procurement preferences or informal disincentives to engage with, purchase from or invest in U.S. entities, which may limit our ability to compete internationally and attract non-U.S. investment, employees, collaborators and suppliers. Foreign governments may also take other retaliatory actions against U.S. entities, such as decreased intellectual property protection, increased enforcement actions, or delays in regulatory approvals, which may result in heightened international legal and operational risks. In addition, the United States and other governments have imposed and may continue to impose additional sanctions, such as trade restrictions or trade barriers, which could restrict us from doing business directly or indirectly in or with certain countries or parties and may impose additional costs and complexity to our business.

Trade disputes, tariffs, restrictions and other political tensions between the United States and other countries may also exacerbate unfavorable macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures, foreign exchange volatility, financial market instability, and economic recessions or downturns. The ultimate impact of current or future tariffs and trade restrictions remains uncertain and could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and prospects. While we actively monitor these risks, any prolonged economic downturn, escalation in trade tensions, or deterioration in international perception of U.S.-based companies could materially and adversely affect our business, ability to access the capital markets or other financing sources, results of operations, financial condition and prospects. In addition, tariffs and other trade developments have heightened and may continue to heighten the risks related to the other risk factors described in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.
