Quoin Pharmaceuticals, Ltd.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors from the risks previously reported in Part 1, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K. You should carefully consider the factors discussed in Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.

Our failure to meet the continued listing requirements of The Nasdaq Capital Market could result in a delisting of our ADSs.

Our ADSs are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which imposes, among other requirements, a minimum bid requirement.

On April 29, 2024, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that the closing bid price per ADS was below the required minimum of $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days and that we did not meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirements set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), we had an initial period of one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until October 29, 2024, which was subsequently extended a further one hundred eighty (180) calendar days, or until April 28, 2025 (the “Compliance Period”), to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement. To regain compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules, on April 9, 2025, weeffected a change in the ratio of ADSs evidencing Ordinary Shares from one (1) ADS representing one (1) Ordinary Share to one (1) ADS representing thirty-five (35) Ordinary Shares. On April 29, 2025, we received a letter from Nasdaq stating that our closing bid price per ADS was at $1.00 or greater for the last 13 consecutive business days. Accordingly, we regained compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) and the matter was closed.

Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A)(iv) states that any listed company that fails to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement and has effected a reverse stock split over the prior one-year period, or has effected one or more reverse stock splits over the prior two-year period with a cumulative ratio of 250 shares or more to one, will not be eligible for an automatic 180-day grace compliance period and the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department is obligated to immediately issue a delisting determination. Therefore, if we were to fall out of compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement prior to April 9, 2026, we would not be able to effect a reverse stock split and would immediately be issued a delisting determination. Further, the Nasdaq rule provides that a company will not be considered to have regained compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement if the company takes an action to achieve compliance (such as a reverse split) and that action results in the Company’s security falling below the numeric threshold for another listing requirement.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s Minimum Bid Price Requirement for continued listing. If our ADSs are delisted from Nasdaq, it will have a material negative impact on the actual and potential liquidity of our securities, as well as a material negative impact on our ability to raise future capital.

If we fail to meet any of Nasdaq’s listing standards, our ADS will be subject to delisting. If that were to occur, our ADS would be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our ADS. This would adversely affect the ability of investors to trade our ADS and would adversely affect the value of our ADS. Delisting from Nasdaq would cause us to pursue eligibility for trading of our ADS on other markets or exchanges, or on an over-the-counter market. In such case, our stockholders’ ability to trade or obtain quotations of the market value of our ADS would be severely limited because of lower trading volumes and transaction delays. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices of these securities. There can be no assurance that our ADS, if delisted from Nasdaq, would be listed on a national securities exchange, a national quotation service or the over-the-counter markets. Delisting from Nasdaq could also result in negative publicity, adversely affect the

market liquidity of our ADS, decrease securities analysts’ coverage of us or diminish investor, supplier and employee confidence. In addition, our stock could become a “penny stock,” which would make trading of our ADS more difficult.

The delisting of our ADS from Nasdaq may make it more difficult for us to raise capital on favorable terms in the future, or at all. Such a delisting would likely have a negative effect on the price of our ADS and would impair your ability to sell or purchase our ADS when you wish to do so. Further, if our ADS were to be delisted from Nasdaq, our ADS would cease to be recognized as a covered security, and we would be subject to additional regulation in each state in which we offer our securities. Moreover, there is no assurance that the actions that we have taken to restore our compliance with the Nasdaq Minimum Bid Price Requirement will stabilize the market price or improve the liquidity of our ADS, prevent our ADS from falling below the Nasdaq minimum bid price required for continued listing again or prevent future non-compliance with other applicable Nasdaq listing requirements.

We must raise additional capital to fund our operations in order to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $62.7 million. As of June 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents and investments were $7.8 million. Despite our recent financing in December 2024, pursuant to which we raised gross proceeds of approximately $6.8 million, based on our current expected level of operating expenditures we believe our cash and cash equivalents and investments on hand, management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the issuance of the unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report. We will need to raise further capital through the sale of additional equity or debt securities or other debt instruments, strategic relationships or grants, or other arrangements to support our future operations. We do not expect to generate revenue from product sales unless and until we successfully complete development and obtain marketing approval for one or more of our product candidates, which we expect will take a number of years and is subject to significant uncertainty. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue and raise capital from financing transactions. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in accomplishing these objectives. Without such additional capital, we may be required to curtail or cease operations and be required to realize our assets and discharge our liabilities other than in the normal course of business which could cause investors to suffer the loss of all or a substantial portion of their investment.

We have incurred significant losses since our inception and have limited cash available for our operations.

To date, we have not commercialized any products and have not generated any revenue. We have incurred net losses every year since inception and we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $62.7 million at June 30, 2025. We have historically funded our operations through debt and equity financings. At June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalent balances totaling $1.7 million and investments of $6.1 million. We believe that we do not have sufficient cash for operating our business for twelve months from the date of filing this form 10-Q. We are subject to risks common to late-stage clinical specialty pharmaceutical companies including, but not limited to, unanticipated or higher than expected clinical trial costs and the ability to estimate such occurrences, if any, on our cash, liquidity, additional financing requirements, and availability. Accordingly, we may need to raise additional funds during this period. We have devoted a majority of our financial resources to research and development, including our preclinical and ongoing clinical development activities. To date, we have funded our operations primarily through our founders’ funding expenditures and the sale of equity and convertible securities.

We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future. The net losses we incur may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially if and as we:

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with pharmaceutical product development, we are unable to predict the timing or amount of increased expenses and when we will be able to achieve or maintain profitability, if ever. In addition, our expenses could increase beyond expectations if we are required by the FDA or other foreign regulatory agencies to perform studies and trials in addition to those that we currently anticipate.

Even if one or more of the product candidates that we independently develop is approved for commercial sale, we may incur significant costs associated with commercializing any approved product. Even if we are able to generate revenues from the sale of any approved products, we may not become profitable and may need to obtain additional funding to continue operations.
