Notes to THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED Consolidated Financial Statements
- Nature of Business, Organization and Liquidity
Description of Business
Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (“Rani Holdings”, and together with its consolidated subsidiary, 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’s technology comprises a drug-agnostic oral delivery platform, the RaniPill capsule, which is designed to deliver a wide variety of drug substances, including antibodies, proteins, peptides, and oligonucleotides. The Company is advancing a portfolio of oral therapeutics using the RaniPill capsule, and the Company is actively pursuing partnering the technology with third party biopharmaceutical companies for the oral delivery of their biologics and drugs. The Company is headquartered in San Jose, California and operates in one segment.
Organizational Transactions
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. In connection with the IPO, the Company effected a series of organizational transactions (the “Organizational Transactions”), which, together with the IPO, were completed in August 2021, that resulted in the Company becoming the ultimate parent company of Rani Therapeutics, LLC (“Rani LLC”). The Company operates its business through Rani LLC.
As part of the Organizational Transactions, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with certain individuals and entities that continued to hold economic nonvoting Class A units of Rani LLC (“Class A Units”), collectively referred to herein as the “Continuing LLC Owners”. The Continuing LLC Owners are entitled to exchange, subject to the terms of the Sixth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Rani LLC (the “Amended 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 canceled 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 Amended Rani LLC Agreement. As of March 31, 2026, 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 1,124,194 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.
Liquidity
The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception, including net loss of$8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had an accumulated deficit of$139.6 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2026, had negative cash flows from operations of$6.5 million. The Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of$43.4 million as of March 31, 2026, will be sufficient to fund its operations through at least twelve months from the date that its condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are issued.
The Company expects to continue to generate operating losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future as it continues to develop the RaniPill capsule. The Company expects to finance its future operations with its existing cash and through strategic financing opportunities that could include, but are not limited to, future offerings of its equity, collaboration or licensing agreements, or the incurrence of debt. However, there is no guarantee that any of these strategic or financing opportunities will be executed or realized on favorable terms, if at all. The Company will not generate any revenue from product sales unless, and until, it successfully completes clinical development and obtains regulatory approval of its product candidates. While the Company may generate collaboration or license revenue prior to product approval, the timing and amount of such revenue are inherently uncertain. 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.
- 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”).
The Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Rani LLC and, through Rani LLC, 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.
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. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026 or for any future period.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025 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 2025 consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 26, 2026.
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. The Company evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on its historical experience and also on assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable; 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, 2025. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents
The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents reported as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet which, in aggregate, represents the amount reported in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:
| March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $9,644 | $10,111 |
| Restricted cash equivalents | 200 | 500 |
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents | $9,844 | $10,611 |
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from customers under revenue arrangements. Receivables are recorded when revenue is recognized and are recorded net of any allowance for current expected credit losses measured based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses in accordance with ASC 326 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”). Receivables are primarily due from collaboration partners and government agencies with strong credit profiles. The Company has no history of credit losses with these counterparties and collection has historically occurred within contractual terms. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has determined that no allowance for credit losses was required, and no write-offs or recoveries were recognized during both periods.
Contract Balances
A contract asset is created when the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to the customer. Contract assets represent conditional rights to consideration when the Company must first satisfy another performance obligation in the contract before it is entitled to payment from the customer. Contract assets are transferred to accounts receivable once the right to consideration becomes unconditional and presented separately from contract assets. A right is unconditional if nothing other than the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net change on contract asset balance due to timing of billing, payment and recognition was $0.
Contract liabilities are recorded as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and include payments received in advance of performance obligations or where the Company has unsatisfied performance obligations.
Significant changes in contract liabilities (deferred revenue) in thethree months ended March 31, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):
| Contract liabilities, beginning of period | $8,539 |
|---|---|
| Revenue recognized | (1,708) |
| Contract liabilities, end of period | $6,831 |
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU 2025‑05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025‑05"), which amends the guidance for estimating expected credit losses for financial assets within the scope of ASC 326. The amendments allow all entities to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. Entities are required to disclose their practical expedient and accounting policy elections. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. The Company elected the practical expedient and adoption did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In December 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements ("ASU 2025‑11"). The amendments clarify the scope of interim reporting guidance in U.S. GAAP, consolidate interim disclosure requirements from other codification topics, and introduce a disclosure principle requiring entities to describe events occurring after the end of the most recent annual period that have a material effect on the entity. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect of this update; however, because the amendments primarily clarify existing interim reporting requirements and do not significantly expand disclosure obligations, the Company does not expect the ASU to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 provides disaggregated information about certain income statement costs and expenses. This guidance is effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

| Total cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents and marketable securities | $48,530 | $2 | $(3) | $48,529 |
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 current expected credit loss by considering factors such as historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, and current economic conditions. As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate 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 a security held is limited to the amount the fair value is less than its amortized cost, no allowance for expected credit loss was deemed necessary at March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, interest income receivable recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet was deminimisfor both periods.

- Evaluation, Collaboration and License, and Collaborative Arrangements
Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement
In October 2025, the Company entered into a Collaboration and License Agreement (the “Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement”) with Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Chugai”). Under the Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement, the Company and Chugai will collaborate to develop, manufacture, seek regulatory approvals for and, if approved, commercialize a product (the “Chugai Product” or “RT-117”) combining Chugai’s antibody (the “Compound”), which is in development for hemophilia, and the RaniPill HC oral delivery device (the “Device”) for use in humans. Under the Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement, the Company received a $10.0 million upfront payment and is eligible to receive up to $18.0 million in technology transfer milestones (of which $10.0 million is subject to the customer's option), up to $57.0 million in regulatory and development milestones, up to $100.0 million in a series of sales-based milestones, contingent upon approval and the commercial success of the Chugai Product, and single digit royalties on net sales upon approval and successful commercialization of the Chugai Product.
Under the Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement, the Company granted Chugai an exclusive, worldwide right and license to certain intellectual property owned by the Company to research, develop, register, manufacture, use, sell, offer to sell, import, export, commercialize, and market the Chugai Product. Chugai granted the Company a non-exclusive, worldwide right and license to certain intellectual property owned by Chugai to manufacture and supply the Device and Chugai Product to Chugai and to perform activities under the Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement. Both parties have the right to sublicense subject to certain conditions.
Inaddition, Chugai has a one-time limited option to replace the Compound with a different compound subject to certain terms and conditions, a time-limited right of first refusal with respect to a select group of additional targets, and a time-limited option toextend its rights to up to five of the additional drug targets, each exercisable upon payment of a $5.0 million additional target fee, under similar deal terms as the Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement.
The parties have the right to terminate the Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement at any time through mutual written consent. Chugai has the unilateral right to terminate the Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement at will, without cause, by providing the Company with 60 days’ prior written notice. Upon termination, Chugai must wind down development, regulatory, and commercial activities and continue paying royalties on any remaining net sales made during the wind-down period. Further, both the Company and Chugai retain their ownership of intellectual property, program inventions, and the license automatically becomes exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, and fully paid‑up in favor of Chugai, unless Chugai terminated the Agreement without cause.
The Company determined that the Chugai Collaboration and License Agreement falls within the scope of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 808: Collaborative Arrangements("ASC 808"), with certain elements accounted for under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customer ("ASC 606"). Specifically, the exclusive license granted to Chugai, technology transfer of a sterile manufacturing process, sales-based milestones, and royalties are accounted for under ASC 606, while the development related activities are accounted for as collaborative arrangements under ASC 808.
Under ASC 606, the Company concluded there is one combined performance obligation, primarily consisting of the exclusive license, the information transfer of the Company's intellectual property, and the sterile manufacturing process research and know-how transfer. The combined performance obligation conveys a right to use the Company's functional intellectual property, which has significant standalone value as Chugai has exclusive rights to use the Compound within the RaniPill. The performance obligation is a stand ready obligation that is satisfied over time by providing Chugai with ongoing access to the Company's leadership throughout the period of delivery of regulatory feedback on the sterile manufacturing process, in order to answer regulatory questions when and if they are asked.
The Company uses the time based (straight line) measure of progress to recognize revenue for the arrangement over time as the performance obligation is satisfied, which is the period from license issuance through the period over which sterile manufacturing process research activities and the corresponding know-how transfer occur. Accordingly, the Company expects to recognize the initial $10.0 million transaction price between the execution of the arrangement through the expected completion date of the sterile manufacturing process transfer.
As of December 31, 2025, the transaction price primarily consisted of the $10.0 million upfront payment. Additional variable considerations including development milestones have been excluded from the initial transaction price because achievement is not considered probable and is fully constrained due to uncertainties outside the Company's control.
Based on its assessment as of March 31, 2026, the Company concluded that there were no changes in facts or circumstances that would result in any milestone‑related variable consideration becoming probable of achievement. As such, no variable consideration was included in the transaction price as of March 31, 2026. The Company will reassess milestone-related variable consideration each reporting period and will update the transaction price once it becomes probable and the associated constraint is lifted. Any milestone consideration included in the transaction price will be recognized when the milestone is achieved or consistent with the pattern of recognition of the associated performance obligation, including through cumulative catch-up adjustments, as applicable.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized$1.7 million of revenue on the condensed consolidated statement of operations and$6.8 million as deferred revenue on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Of the $10.0 million upfront payment, $8.0 million was received in cash and$2.0 million remains in accounts receivable relating to tax withheld by the Japanese tax authorities, which is expected to be refunded to the Company upon submission and acceptance of the required residency certificate. The Company expects to collect the full amount and does not view the withholding as impacting the collectability assessment under ASC 606.
Evaluation Arrangement
In August 2024, the Company entered into a contract with Chugai to conduct evaluation services of certain Chugai compounds for oral delivery using the RaniPill HC, (the "Chugai Research Agreement"), which was concluded to be a single performance obligation with an enforceable right to payment. The Company received an up-front payment of $0.6 million upon execution of the contract. Upon completion of the evaluation services, in April 2025, the Company was paid a final $0.6 million for an aggregate total of $1.2 million due under the contract. In addition, if agreed upon, the agreement allows for joint filing of certain intellectual property protection in which all associated expenses will be shared equally. Chugai has the ability to terminate the agreement at any time by providing 10 days’ written notice after the effective date of the contract. The contract can be terminated for cause by either party based on uncured material breach by the other party. Upon early termination, all ongoing activities under the agreement and all mutual collaboration, development and commercialization licenses and sublicenses will terminate. For the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, $0 and$0.2 million, respectively, in contract revenue was recognized for evaluation services performed. As of March 31, 2026, no contract asset or contract liability was outstanding under the Chugai Research Agreement, as all consideration received had been recognized as revenue in proportion to the services performed.
ProGen Co., Ltd.
In June 2024, the Company and ProGen Co., Ltd. (“ProGen”) entered into a Collaboration Agreement (the “Collaboration Agreement”). Under the Collaboration Agreement, the Company and ProGen will collaborate to manufacture, develop, seek regulatory approvals for and, if approved, commercialize a product (the “Product” or “RT-114”) combining ProGen’s GLP-1/GLP-2 dual agonist compound, PG-102, and the RaniPill HC oral delivery device in the field of weight management (including without limitation obesity, weight reduction and weight maintenance) in humans (the “Collaboration”).
Under the Collaboration Agreement, development costs, as well as operating profits and losses from the commercialization of the Product, will be equally shared by the Company and ProGen. The Company and ProGen each granted to the other party an exclusive right and license (except with respect to the other party’s affiliates and sublicensees) to certain intellectual property to develop the Product for weight management and an exclusive right and license to seek regulatory approval for, and to use, sell, offer to sell, import and commercialize the Product in their assigned territories. The parties share responsibility for the development of RT-114 worldwide, with the Company leading such development for preclinical activities through Phase 1 clinical trials. After initiation of the first Phase 2 clinical trial, the Company will lead development and commercialization of the Product in the United States, Canada, Europe (including the United Kingdom) and Australia, and ProGen will lead development and commercialization in all other countries.
Each party has the right to opt-out of the Collaboration (“Opt-Out”) at any time upon prior written notice to the other party. Following an Opt-Out, the continuing party shall have sole right to develop, conduct regulatory activities for and commercialize the Product on a worldwide basis. The Opt-Out party shall share all development costs and operating profit (or loss) through the effective date of the Opt-Out, and all costs to complete the conduct of any clinical trials of Product that have been initiated prior to delivery of the Opt-Out notice, even if the costs are incurred or the trials are completed after the effective date of the Opt-Out. The continuing party shall pay to the Opt-Out party low single to mid-single digit royalties on net sales of the Product made after the Opt-Out date depending on when the Opt-Out occurs.
The Company determined that the Collaboration Agreement is not a contract with a customer and is therefore accounted for under ASC 808. The Company evaluates the presentation of amounts due from ProGen based on the nature of each separate activity. Reimbursements from ProGen are recognized as contra-research and development expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations once earned and collectability is assured. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, reimbursement due from ProGen recorded as contra-research and development expense was$0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Service Agreements
In April 2022, Rani LLC entered into a service agreement for afacility in San Jose, California. In March 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to increase the size of the rental space from 23,000 square feet to 24,000 square feet (such agreement, as amended, the “RMS-ICL Service Agreement”). The RMS-ICL Service Agreement has a twelve-month term and will automatically renew for successive twelve-month periods unless terminated (Note 8). Rani LLC or ICL may terminate services under the RMS-ICL Service Agreement upon 60 days' notice to the other party, except for occupancy which requires six months’ notice. The RMS-ICL Service Agreement specifies the scope of services to be provided as well as the methods for determining the costs of services. ICL administrative fees and research and development expenses are billed or charged on a monthly basis by ICL or Rani LLC, respectively, as well as allocations of expenses based upon Rani LLC’s utilization of ICL’s facilities and equipment.

In June 2021, ICL and the Company, through Rani LLC, entered into an Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement which replaced the 2012 Exclusive License Agreement between ICL and Rani LLC, as amended in 2013, and terminated the 2012 Intellectual Property Agreement between ICL and Rani LLC, as amended in June 2013. Under the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement, the Company has a fully paid, exclusive license under certain scheduled patents related to optional features of the device and certain other scheduled patents to exploit products covered by those patents in the field of oral delivery of sensors, small molecule drugs or biologic drugs including, any peptide, antibody, protein, cell therapy, gene therapy or vaccine. The Company covers patent-related expenses and, after a certain period, the Company will have the right to acquire four specified United States patent families from ICL by making a one-time payment of $0.3 million to ICL for each United States patent family that the Company desires to acquire, up to $1.0 million in the aggregate. This payment will not become an obligation until the fifth anniversary of the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement. The Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement will terminate when there are no remaining valid claims of the patents licensed under the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement. Additionally, the Company may terminate the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement in its entirety or as to any particular licensed patent upon notification to ICL of such intent to terminate.
In November 2025, as part of a strategic focusing of the Company's resources, the Company notified ICL that it is terminating the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement in its entirety. The termination became effective on January 18, 2026, and the Company no longer has any obligations to ICL under the Amended and Restated Exclusive License Agreement.
Non-Exclusive License Agreement between Rani and ICL (“Non-Exclusive License Agreement”)
In June 2021, the Company, through Rani LLC, entered into the Non-Exclusive License Agreement with ICL a related party, pursuant to which the Company granted ICL a non-exclusive, fully-paid license under specified patents that were assigned from ICL to the Company. Additionally, the Company agreed not to license these patents to a third party in a specific field outside the field of oral delivery of sensors, small molecule drugs or biologic drugs including, any peptide, antibody, protein, cell therapy, gene therapy or vaccine, if ICL can prove that it or its sublicensee has been in active development of a product covered by such patents in that specific field. ICL may grant sublicenses under this license to third parties only with the Company’s prior approval. The Non-Exclusive License Agreement will continue in perpetuity unless earlier terminated.
Rani LLC Agreement
The Company operates its business through Rani LLC. In connection with the IPO, the Company and the Continuing LLC Owners, including ICL and its affiliates, entered an LLC agreement (the “Rani LLC Agreement”). As part of the Private Placement, the Rani LLC Agreement was amended effective as of December 31, 2025 (the “Amended Rani LLC Agreement”). The governance of Rani LLC, and the rights and obligations of the holders of LLC Interests, are set forth in the Amended Rani LLC Agreement. As Continuing LLC Owners, ICL and its affiliates are entitled to exchange, subject to the terms of the Amended Rani LLC Agreement, Paired Interests for Class A common stock of the Company; provided that, at the Company’s election, the Company 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.
During each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, no related parties that are parties to the Amended Rani LLC Agreement exchanged any Paired Interests, for an equal number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock.
- Leases
In November 2023, Rani LLC and BKM South Bay 240, LLC (“Landlord”) entered into the Standard Industrial/Commercial Multi-Tenant Lease - Net (the “Lease”). Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, Rani LLC is leasing approximately 33,000 square feet of space in Fremont, California, which is part of a two-building project (the “Project”). The initial term of the Lease commenced in February 2024, and the duration of the initial term is 63 months. Subject to certain conditions, Rani LLC has an option to renew the Lease for one additional 5-year term at the then-prevailing market rate. The monthly base rent for the initial term of the Lease is approximately $95,000 per month, subject to a 4% increase each year. Rani LLC is also responsible for the payment of additional rent to cover its share of common area operating expenses, including taxes, insurance, utilities, and repair and maintenance of the premises and common areas of the Project.
In addition, the Company pays for the use of its office, laboratory and manufacturing facility in San Jose, California as part of the RMS-ICL Service Agreement. In March 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to increase the size of the rental space from 23,000 square feet to 24,000 square feet. The RMS-ICL Service Agreement has a twelve-month term and will automatically renew for successive twelve-month periods unless Rani LLC or ICL terminate occupancy under the RMS-ICL Service Agreement upon six months’ notice. In October 2025, the Company determined it to be reasonably certain that it would exercise its renewal option for a successive twelve-month period through 2026. The Company accounted for the renewal option as a lease modification that did not result in a separate contract and recognized the additional right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liabilities associated with the Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement in its condensed consolidated balance sheet.
The Company's leases are accounted for as operating leases and require certain fixed payments of real estate taxes and insurance in addition to future minimum lease payments, and certain variable payments of common area maintenance costs and building utilities. Variable lease payments are expensed in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. These variable lease costs are payments that vary in amount beyond the commencement date, for reasons other than passage of time. Variable lease payments are excluded from the total operating lease expense and immaterial for the periods presented.

The Common Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants are classified as equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. The warrants include certain rights upon “fundamental transactions,” as described in the warrant agreement, including the right of the holders thereof to receive from the Company or a successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) that is being offered and paid to the holders of Class A common stock in such fundamental transaction in the amount of the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the applicable warrants on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transactions. The purchase price of the Shares to the Institutional Investors is $0.48 per share, and the purchase price of the Shares to the Affiliated Investor is $0.605 per share. The purchase price of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the Purchasers is $0.4799 per Pre-Funded Warrant. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the closing of the Private Placement were approximately $60.3 million (including conversion of $6.0 million of the previously outstanding loan's principal balance), before deducting placement agent fees and other expenses payable by the Company of approximately $4.5 million, and excluding the proceeds, if any, from the exercise of the Common Warrants.
The Common Warrants became exercisable following the effective date of stockholder approval in December 2025 and have a term of five years following the initial exercise date. The Common Warrants purchased by the Purchasers have an exercise price of $0.48 per share. The Pre-Funded Warrants are exercisable immediately following the closing, have an unlimited term and an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. In January 2026, a Purchaser exercised 2,099,844 shares of Pre-Funded Warrants on a cashless basis, resulting in 80,266,823 shares of Pre-Funded Warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2026.
Service Warrants
In May 2025, in conjunction with a service agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 300,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Service Warrants") to a third party vendor. The value of the Service Warrants was expensed immediately as a general and administrative cost. The Service Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the issuance date, at an exercise price per share equal to $0.70. The Service Warrants are classified as equity on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Service Warrants include certain rights upon “fundamental transactions,” as described in the warrant agreement, including the right of the holders thereof to receive from the Company or a successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) that is being offered and paid to the holders of Class A common stock in such fundamental transaction in the amount of the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the applicable warrants on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transactions. In February 2026, the service agreement was terminated, however the issued Service Warrants remain outstanding with terms unchanged. As of March 31, 2026, all of the Service Warrants were outstanding.
Letter Agreement
In May 2025, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with an existing institutional investor (the “Equity Investor”) pursuant to which the Equity Investor exercised for cash all outstanding Series B and Series C warrants, which had been previously issued in July 2024 and October 2024, respectively, at a reduced exercise price of $0.65 per share, for net proceeds of $3.9 million in consideration for the Company’s issuance of a new Series D common stock warrant (the “Series D Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 13,160,172 shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”). Modification accounting was only performed on the warrants that were actually exercised pursuant to the Letter Agreement as it represented a short-term inducement. On the modification date, the Company remeasured the warrants at the reduced exercise price and recognized a $1.3 million inducement charge in the condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity.
The Series D Warrants were exercisable immediately following stockholder approval, and will expire five years from the date of stockholder approval and have an exercise price of $0.65 per share. The Series D Warrants include certain rights upon “fundamental transactions,” as described in the Series D Warrant agreement, including the right of the holders thereof to receive from the Company or a successor entity the same type or form of consideration (and in the same proportion) that is being offered and paid to the holders of Class A common stock in such fundamental transaction in the amount of the Black Scholes value of the unexercised portion of the applicable Series D Warrants on the date of the consummation of the fundamental transactions. The Series D Warrant is classified as equity on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet. In October 2025, pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the equity investor exercised the Series D Warrants to purchase 6,967,150 shares of Class A Common Stock for cash proceeds of $4.5 million. As of March 31, 2026, there were 6,193,022 Series D Warrants outstanding.
Pursuant to the terms of the Letter Agreement, in the event that the exercise of the Series B and Series C warrants would have otherwise caused a holder to exceed the beneficial ownership limitations set forth in the existing warrant, the Company issued the number of shares that would not cause a holder to exceed such beneficial ownership limitation and agreed to hold such balance of shares of Class A Common Stock in abeyance. Accordingly, an aggregate of 1,161,000 shares of Class A Common Stock from the exercise of the Series B and Series C warrants were held in abeyance (the “Abeyance Shares”) with such Abey ance Shares evidenced through the holder’s existing warrants and which are deemed to be prepaid. The Abeyance Shares were to be held until notice is received by the holder that the balance of the shares of Class A Common Stock may be issued in compliance with such beneficial ownership limitations and may be exercised pursuant to a notice of exercise from the holder. The Abeyance Shares were subsequently released and considered shares of Class A Common Stock in July 2025.
Loan and Security Agreement Warrants
In August 2022, in conjunction with a loan and security agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 76,336 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period offive years from the grant date, 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, which may be net share settled at the option of the holder. The warrants are classified as equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet. In September 2025, the Company modified the exercise price of the warrants to $0.50 in consideration for a deferral of a principal repayment due in October 2025. There were no other changes to the terms of the warrant agreement. On the modification date, the Company remeasured the warrants at the reduced exercise price and recognized an additional $15 thousand as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of March 31, 2026, there were 76,336 warrants outstanding.

As of March 31, 2026, there was$7.5 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.4 years.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each stock option award on the date of grant. The assumptions and estimates are as follows:
Expected term - The expected term represents the period of time that stock option awards are expected to remain outstanding. The Company estimates the expected term as the midpoint between actual or expected vesting date and the contractual term.
Expected volatility - The expected volatility was derived from the historical stock volatilities of peer public companies within the Company's industry that are considered to be comparable businesses over a period equivalent to the expected term of the stock option awards, since there has been limited trading history of the Company's stock.
Risk-free interest rate - The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the date of grant for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury notes with maturities approximately equal to the stock option awards’ expected term.
Expected dividend yield - The expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has no plans to make dividend payments.
The following table sets forth the weighted average assumptions used in estimating the fair value of stock option awards on the grant date:
| March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 112.6 | % |
| Risk-free interest rate | 3.62 | % |
| Expected term (in years) | 6.1 | |

*The pre-funded warrants (Note 9) are considered outstanding shares in the basic earnings per share calculation given their nominal exercise price (as of the beginning of the period or the date of the grant, whichever is earlier).
The following table shows the total outstanding securities considered anti-dilutive and therefore excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Holdings (in thousands):

Shares of Class B Common Stock do not share in the Company’s earnings and are not participating securities. Accordingly, separate presentation of loss per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been provided. The outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock were determined to be anti-dilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Therefore, they are not included in the computation of net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.
