Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.

On May 1, 2025, Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (“Company”) received a letter (“Notice”) from the Nasdaq Stock Exchange LLC (“Nasdaq”), addressing a compliance deficiency under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The letter notified of the deficiency with regard to Rule 5450(b)(2)(A), which requires a company whose securities are listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the “Market Value Standard” to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities (an “MVLS”) of $50,000,000. The deficiency was caused by the Company’s MVLS having been below the minimum level for the prior 30 consecutive business days.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), the Company is entitled to a 180-day period, ending on October 28, 2025, to rectify the deficiency. In order to do so, the Company must achieve and maintain an MVLS of at least $50,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days. In the event that the Company does not regain compliance with the Listing Requirements prior to the expiration of the 180-day compliance period, the Company will receive written notification from Nasdaq that the Company’s securities are subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Nasdaq hearings panel. Alternatively, the Company may apply for a transfer of the listing of its securities to The Nasdaq Capital Market, provided that the Company then meets the continued listing requirements on The Nasdaq Capital Market.

The Company is considering actions that it 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 the Company will be able to regain compliance with the MVLS requirement or will otherwise be in compliance with other Nasdaq listing criteria.
