Notes to THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Nature of Business

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. The Company is headquartered in San Jose, California and operates in one segment.

Organization

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 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 Rani LLC Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, 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 1,261,690 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock.

Liquidity

The Company has incurred recurring losses since its inception, including net losses of $14.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $80.4 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, had negative cash flows from operations of $9.4 million. As of March 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $39.6 million. Based on its available cash resources and current operating plan, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that its financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are issued. The Company’s existing capital resources, including the net proceeds from our IPO and term loans (the “Loans”) under a loan and security agreement and related supplement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P (the “Lender”) entered into in August 2022, will not be sufficient to enable it to initiate any pivotal clinical trials. The Company 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 its product candidates and seek regulatory approval thereof, to expand its manufacturing capabilities, to further develop the RaniPill HC device and to commercialize any of its product candidates.

The Loan Agreement provides for Loans in an aggregate principal amount up to $45.0 million. A Loan of $30.0 million was committed at closing, with $15.0 million funded immediately and $15.0 million available to be drawn between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, which was drawn in December 2022. The remaining $15.0 million of Loans is uncommitted and is subject to certain conditions, which may not occur, and approval by the Lender.

In August 2022, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively the "Agents"), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time through the Agents up to $150 million of shares of its Class A common stock, in such share amounts as the Company may specify by notice to the Agents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. The potential proceeds from the Sales Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has no sales under the Sales Agreement.

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, such as “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, 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. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans do not alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2. 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”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with current period presentation.

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, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future period.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 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 2023 consolidated financial statements and notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024.

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 we believe 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, 2023. Except as noted below, there have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Equivalents

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and 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 the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
End of Period:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,877	$	18,984
Restricted cash equivalents		500		500
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents	$	7,377	$	19,484

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact of this guidance on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Total cash equivalents, restricted cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	46,542	$	—	$	(28	)	$	46,514

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, 2024, 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, 2024. As of each March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, interest income receivable recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet was $0.2 million.

4. Fair Value Measurements

Commercial paper		—		5,217		—		5,217
Total assets	$	39,334	$	7,180	$	—	$	46,514

Level 1 and Level 2 financial instruments are comprised of investments in money market funds and fixed-income securities. The Company estimates the fair value of its Level 2 financial instruments by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The third-party pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities; issuer credit spreads; benchmark securities; and other observable inputs.

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for any of the periods presented.

Service Agreements

In June 2021, Rani LLC entered into a service agreement with ICL effective retrospectively to January 1, 2021, and subsequently amended such agreement in March 2022 (as amended, the "Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement"), pursuant to which Rani LLC and ICL agreed to provide personnel services to the other upon requests. Under the amendment in March 2022, Rani LLC has a right to occupy certain facilities leased by ICL in Milpitas, California and San Antonio, Texas (“Occupancy Services”) for general office, research and development, and light manufacturing. The Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement has a twelve-month term and will automatically renew for successive twelve-month periods unless terminated; except that the Occupancy Services in Milpitas, California have a term until February 2024, following an extension granted in July 2022, and the Occupancy Services in San Antonio, Texas continue until either party gives six months’ notice of termination. Except for the Occupancy Services, Rani LLC or ICL may terminate services under the Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement upon 60 days' notice to the other party. The Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement specifies the scope of services to be provided as well as the methods for determining the costs of services. Costs are billed or charged on a monthly basis by ICL or Rani LLC, respectively. In December 2023, Rani LLC provided to ICL notice of termination of the Occupancy Services in San Antonio, which termination will take effect in June 2024. In March 2024, the Company extended the facility in Milpitas, California for an additional six-month term through August 2024 and increased the payment for such Occupancy Services during the extension period.

In June 2021, Rani Management Services, Inc. (“RMS”) entered into a service agreement with ICL effective retrospectively to January 1, 2021, pursuant to which ICL agreed to rent a specified portion of its facility in San Jose, California to RMS. Additionally, RMS and ICL agreed to provide personnel services to the other upon requests based on rates specified in the agreement. In April 2022, RMS assigned the agreement to Rani LLC. In December 2022, RMS was dissolved. In March 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to increase the Occupancy Services from 23,000 square feet to 24,000 square feet (such agreement, as assigned and 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. 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. Costs 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.

The table below details the amounts charged by ICL for services and rent, net of the amount that the Company charged ICL, which is included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Research and development	$	306	$	310
General and administrative		49		72
Total	$	355	$	382

As of March 31, 2024, three of the Company's facilities are owned or leased by an entity affiliated with the Company’s Chairman (Note 7). The Company pays for the use of these facilities through its services agreements with ICL.

Exclusive License, Intellectual Property and Common Unit Purchase Agreement

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.

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.

Intellectual Property Agreement with Mir Imran (the “Mir Agreement”)

In June 2021, the Company, through Rani LLC, entered into the Mir Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and Mir Imran agreed that the Company would own all intellectual property conceived (i) using any of the Company’s people, equipment, or facilities or (ii) that is within the field of oral delivery of sensors, small molecule drugs or biologic drugs including, any peptide, antibody, protein, cell therapy, gene therapy or vaccine. Neither the Company nor Mir Imran may assign the Mir Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party. The initial term of the Mir Agreement is three years, which can be extended upon mutual consent of the parties. The Mir Agreement may be terminated by either party for any reason within the initial three-year term upon providing three months’ notice to the other party.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Certain parties to the tax receivable agreement ("TRA"), entered into in August 2021 pursuant to the IPO and Organizational Transactions are related parties of the Company. The TRA provides that the Company pay to ICL and the other Continuing LLC Owners 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, it is deemed to realize from exchanges of Paired Interests (Note 2). During each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, these parties to the TRA exchanged zero Paired Interests that resulted in tax benefits subject to the TRA (Note 12).

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the IPO, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement. ICL and its affiliates are parties to this agreement. The Registration Rights Agreement provides certain registration rights whereby, at any time following the IPO and the expiration of any related lock-up period, ICL and its affiliates can require the Company to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) shares of Class A common stock issuable to ICL and its affiliates upon, at the Company’s election, redemption or exchange of their Paired Interests. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for piggyback registration rights. In March 2022, certain holders of the Company's Class A common stock considered to be related parties were made parties to the Registration Rights Agreement. As a result of certain stockholders exercising their registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement, in December 2022, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register 6,009,542 shares of Class A common stock of the Company held by certain of its stockholders.

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 into the Rani LLC Agreement. The governance of Rani LLC, and the rights and obligations of the holders of LLC Interests, are set forth in the Rani LLC Agreement. As Continuing LLC Owners, ICL and its affiliates are entitled to exchange, subject to the terms of the 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, 2024 and 2023, certain related parties that are party to the Rani LLC Agreement exchanged zero Paired Interests for an equal number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock.

7. 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.

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 April 2022, RMS assigned the RMS-ICL Service Agreement to Rani LLC. In December 2022, RMS was dissolved. In March 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to increase the Occupancy Services 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 January 2024, the Company determined it to be reasonably certain that it would exercise its renewal option for a successive twelve-month period through 2025. 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.

Under the Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement amended in March 2022, Rani LLC has a right to occupy certain facilities leased by ICL in Milpitas, California and San Antonio, Texas for general office, research and development, and light manufacturing. The Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement has a twelve-month term and will automatically renew for a successive twelve-month periods unless terminated; except that the Occupancy Services in Milpitas, California have a term until February 2024, following an extension granted in July 2022. The Company accounted for the lease extension as a lease modification that did not result in a separate contract and recognized the right-of-use asset and lease liabilities associated with the Rani LLC-ICL Service Agreement in the consolidated balance sheet as of the modification date in July 2022. In December 2023, the Company provided to ICL notice of termination of the Occupancy Services in San Antonio, which termination will take effect in June 2024. In March 2024, the Company extended the facility in Milpitas, California for an additional six-month term through August 2024 and increased the payment for such Occupancy Services during the extension period. As of March 31, 2024, both leases were determined to be short-term.

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 in the total operating lease expense and immaterial for the periods presented.

Supplemental information on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of cash flows as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the Company's leases was as follows (in thousands):

8. Warrants

In August 2022, in conjunction with a loan and security agreement (Note 11), the Company issued warrants to purchase 76,336 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five 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. As of March 31, 2024, there were 76,336 warrants outstanding.

9. Stockholders’ Equity

As of March 31, 2024, Rani Holdings held approximately 51% of the Class A Units of Rani LLC, and approximately 49% of the outstanding Class A Units of Rani LLC are held by the Continuing LLC Owners. From the date of the Organizational Transactions to March 31, 2024, 5,173,947 Paired Interests and 283,832 non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC were exchanged for an equal number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, certain of the Continuing LLC Owners executed an exchange of zero Paired Interests and 83,377 and zero non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC, respectively, in return for an equal number of shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. The corresponding shares of the Company’s Class B common stock included in the exchange of Paired Interests were subsequently canceled and retired pursuant to the terms of the Rani LLC Agreement.

In August 2022, the Company entered into a Controlled Equity Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively the "Agents"), pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell from time to time through the Agents up to $150.0 million of shares of its Class A common stock, in such share amounts as the Company may specify by notice to the Agents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. The potential proceeds from the Sales Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has no sales under the Sales Agreement.

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may be subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation as the Company operates in an industry susceptible to patent legal claims. The Company accounts for estimated losses with respect to legal proceedings and claims when such losses are probable and estimable. Legal costs associated with these matters are expensed when incurred. The Company is currently involved in several opposition proceedings at the European Patent Office, all of which were asserted against us by Novo Nordisk A/S. The ultimate outcome of this matter as a loss is not probable nor is there any amount that is reasonably estimable. However, the outcome of the opposition proceedings could impact the Company’s ability to prevent third parties from commercializing in Europe products with characteristics similar to those of the Company’s RaniPill technology.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The Company is party to a TRA with certain of the Continuing LLC Owners. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has not recorded a liability under the TRA related to the income tax benefits originating from the exchanges of Paired Interest or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC as it is not probable that the Company will realize such tax benefits. To the extent the Company is able to realize the income tax benefits associated with the exchanges of Paired Interest or non-corresponding Class A Units of Rani LLC subject to the TRA, the TRA payable would range from zero to $23.1 million at March 31, 2024.

The amounts payable under the TRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of the Company in the future. Should the Company determine that the payment of the TRA liability becomes probable at a future date based on new information, any changes will be recorded on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss at that time.

11. Long-Term Debt

In August 2022, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement with the Lender. The Loan Agreement provides for Loans in an aggregate principal amount up to $45.0 million. A Loan of $30.0 million was committed at closing, with $15.0 million funded immediately and $15.0 million available to be drawn between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, which was drawn in December 2022. The remaining $15.0 million of Loans is uncommitted and is subject to certain conditions, which may not occur, and approval by the Lender. The purpose of the Loans is for general corporate purposes. In exchange for access to this facility, the Company agreed to issue warrants (Note 8).

Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the maturity date for the Loans is August 1, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”). The Loan principal is repayable in equal monthly installments beginning September 2024 extendable to March 2025 under certain conditions. The Loans bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to the greater of (A) the prime rate, as published by the Wall Street Journal from time to time plus 5.60% or (B) 10.35%. The Loan Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company’s assets, in which the Lender is granted continuing security interests. The Loans includes customary events of default, including instances of a material adverse change in the Company’s operations, which may require prepayment of the outstanding Loans. At March 31, 2024, the effective interest rate on the Loans was 15.66% and there were no events of default during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company is also subject to certain covenants. There have been no material adverse events in connection with the Loan Agreement and the substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern does not currently constitute a material adverse event under the terms of the Loan Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants under the Loan Agreement.

As of March 31, 2024, future principal payments for the Company’s debt are as follows (in thousands):


Year ending December 31,
2024 (remaining nine months)	$	5,000
2025		15,000
2026		10,000
Total principal payments	$	30,000
Less: amount representing debt discount		(561	)
Total long-term debt	$	29,439
Less: current portion of long-term debt		8,586
Total long-term debt, less current portion	$	20,853

12. Income Taxes

The Company’s effective income tax rate was zero for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. As a result of the exchanges from the date of the Organizational Transactions to March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $18.9 million deferred tax asset related to income tax benefit associated with the basis of the net assets of Rani LLC. Because of the Company’s history of operating losses, the Company believes that recognition of the deferred tax assets arising from such future income tax benefits is currently not more-likely-than-not to be realized and, accordingly, has recognized a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

There were no material changes to uncertain tax positions for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and the Company does not anticipate material changes within the next twelve months.

13. Net Loss Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Holdings (in thousands, except per share data):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023
Numerator:
Net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.	$	(7,483	)	$	(8,372	)
Denominator:
Weighted average Class A common share outstanding—basic and diluted		26,034			25,240
Net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.—basic and diluted	$	(0.29	)	$	(0.33	)

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):


	As of March 31,
	2024		2023
Paired Interests		24,116		24,116
Stock options		10,348		5,709
Non-corresponding Class A Units		1,262		1,387
Restricted stock units		1,099		1,855
Shares issuable pursuant to the ESPP		114		66
Warrants		76		76
Restricted stock awards		26		59
		37,041		33,268

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, 2024. Therefore, they are not included in the computation of net loss per Class A common share attributable to Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.

The following discussion contains references to calendar year 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which represents the condensed consolidated financial results of Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiary, Rani Therapeutics, LLC (“Rani LLC”) for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Unless we state otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and “Rani” and similar references refers to the Company and its consolidated subsidiary.

Overview

We are 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. We are advancing a portfolio of oral therapeutics using our proprietary delivery technology and we are actively pursuing partnering the technology with third party biopharmaceutical companies for the oral delivery of their biologics and drugs.

Our 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. We are currently developing two configurations of the platform – the RaniPill GO and the RaniPill HC. The RaniPill GO is designed to deliver up to a 3 mg dose of drug in microtablet form with high bioavailability. We have completed three Phase 1 clinical trials using the RaniPill GO. We are also developing a high-capacity version of the RaniPill capsule known as the RaniPill HC, which is intended to enable delivery of drug payloads up to 200µL in liquid form with high bioavailability. We have tested preclinically the RaniPill HC with multiple therapeutics, including antibodies and a peptide. We intend to initiate clinical testing of the RaniPill HC in the second half of 2024.

We believe that, together, the RaniPill GO and RaniPill HC could enable us to deliver most biologics currently on the market with convenient, oral dosing.

We do not have any products approved for sale, and we have not yet generated any revenue from sales of a commercial product. Our ability to generate product revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, if ever, will depend on the successful development of the RaniPill capsule, which we expect will take a number of years. Given our stage of development, we have not yet established a commercial organization or distribution capabilities, and we have no experience as a company in marketing drugs or a drug-delivery platform. When, and if, any of our product candidates are approved for commercialization, we plan to develop a commercialization infrastructure or engage commercial sales organizations or distributors for those products in the United States, Europe, Asia, and potentially in certain other key markets. We may also rely on partnerships to provide commercialization infrastructure, including sales, marketing, and commercial distribution.

As is common with biotechnology companies, we rely on third-party suppliers for the supply of raw materials and active pharmaceutical ingredients ("APIs") and drug substances required for the production of our product candidates. In addition, we work with third parties to manufacture and develop biologics and drugs for inclusion in the current RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. Design work, prototyping and pilot manufacturing are performed in house, and we have utilized third-party engineering firms to assist with the design of manufacturing lines that support our supply of the current RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. Certain of our suppliers of components and materials are single source suppliers. We believe our vertically integrated manufacturing strategy will offer significant advantages, including rapid product iteration, control over our product quality and the ability to rapidly scale our manufacturing capacity. This capability also allows us to develop future generations of products while maintaining the confidentiality of our intellectual property. Our vertically integrated manufacturing strategy will result in material future capital outlays and fixed costs related to constructing and operating a manufacturing facility. We have invested and plan to continue to invest in automated manufacturing production lines for the current RaniPill capsule and RaniPill HC. Those assets deemed to have an alternative future use have been capitalized as property and equipment while those projects related to our assets determined to not have an alternative future use have been expensed as research and development costs.

As of March 31, 2024, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $39.6 million. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and our net losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the timing of and expenditures on our planned research and development activities. Our existing capital resources, including the net proceeds from our initial public offering in 2021 (“IPO”) and term loans we received under a loan and security agreement and related supplement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Avenue Venture Opportunities Fund, L.P (the “Lender”), 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 and seek regulatory approval thereof, to expand our manufacturing capabilities, to further develop the RaniPill HC device and to commercialize any of our product candidates. We may seek to raise capital through equity offerings or debt financings, collaboration agreements, or other arrangements with other companies, or through other sources of financing.

RT-111 Update

In February 2024, we announced positive topline results from a Phase 1 study of RT-111, the RaniPill capsule containing ustekinumab biosimilar which is being developed for the potential treatment of inflammatory conditions. The study met all of its endpoints and RT-111 was generally well tolerated with no serious adverse events noted. In the study, RT-111 orally delivered 0.5 mg and 0.75 mg of our proprietary formulation of ustekinumab biosimilar with high bioavailability. There was no meaningful difference in incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the groups receiving RT-111 compared to the group that received STELARA® (ustekinumab) via subcutaneous injection.

Lease

The initial term of the Lease commenced in February 2024, and the duration of the initial term is 63 months. Subject to certain conditions, we have 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. We are also responsible for the payment of additional rent to cover our share of common area operating expenses, including taxes, insurance, utilities, and repair and maintenance of the premises and common areas of the Project.

Results of Operations

The results of operations presented below should be reviewed in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For information with respect to recent accounting pronouncements that are of significance or potential significance to us, see “Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the “Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

The following table summarizes our results of operations (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023			Change
Operating expenses
Research and development	$	7,586		$	9,712			(21.9	)	%

Net loss attributable to Rani Therapeutics Holdings, Inc.	$	(7,483	)	$	(8,372	)		(10.6	)	%

Research and Development Expenses

The following table reflects our research and development costs by nature of expense (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024		2023
Payroll, stock-based compensation and related benefits	$	5,748	$	7,372
Facilities, materials and supplies		1,382		1,448
Third-party services		443		857
Other		13		35
Total	$	7,586	$	9,712

The decrease of $2.1 million in research and development expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily attributed to lower compensation costs of $1.6 million due to reduction in workforce and $0.4 million reduction in third-party service costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

The decrease of $0.4 million in general and administrative expenses in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily attributed to lower compensation costs of $0.2 million due to reduction in workforce and $0.2 million reduction in other costs.

Other Income (Expense), Net

The increase of $0.4 million in other expense, net, in the three months ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, was primarily attributed to a decrease in interest income of $0.3 million from our investment in marketable securities and an increase interest expense of $0.1 million from our debt.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We have incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception, including net loss of $14.8 million for three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $80.4 million and for three months ended March 31, 2024, had negative cash flows from operations of $9.4 million. As of March 31, 2024, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $39.6 million. We expect to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future, and our net losses may fluctuate significantly from period to period, depending on the timing of and expenditures on our planned research and development activities. Our existing capital resources, including the net proceeds from our IPO and term loans we received under the Loan Agreement, will not be sufficient to enable us to initiate any pivotal clinical trials. Based on our available cash resources and current operating plan, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are issued. If we are unable to 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 condensed consolidated financial statements, and investors may lose all or a part of their investment.

Financial Update

In November 2023, we committed to a plan for strategic prioritization of our programs, expansion of our manufacturing and streamlining of our business operations to support potential near-term value drivers and long-term growth (the “Restructuring”). The Restructuring included a reduction of our workforce by approximately 25%. As a result of the Restructuring, we estimate that we will incur approximately $0.3 million in costs of which nearly all are cash expenditures related to severance and half of which has been incurred to date. We expect the Restructuring to be substantially completed by the end of the second quarter of 2024. The estimates of costs that we expect to incur in connection with the Restructuring and the timing thereof are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ materially from estimates. We may also incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated in connection with the Restructuring due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the Restructuring.

In November 2023, our Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved a reduction in the annual salary of Talat Imran, our Chief Executive Officer, from $520,000 to $100,000, effective November 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024 or until such time as we receive gross proceeds of $50,000,000 or more, in the aggregate, from equity financing and/or one or more non-dilutive strategic, licensing or partnering transactions. The decreased base salary amends the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, dated August 31, 2022, by and between Rani LLC and Mr. Imran.

In August 2022, we entered into the Loan Agreement with the Lender. The Loan Agreement provides for term loans (the “Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount up to $45.0 million. A Loan of $30.0 million was committed at closing, with $15.0 million funded immediately and $15.0 million available to be drawn between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, which was drawn in December 2022. The remaining $15.0 million of Loans is uncommitted and is subject to certain conditions, which may not occur, and approval by the Lender. The Loan Agreement also contains various covenants and restrictive provisions. There have been no material adverse events in connection with the Loan Agreement and the substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern does not currently constitute a material adverse event under the terms of the Loan Agreement. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable debt covenants under the Loan Agreement.

In August 2022, we entered into a Controlled Equity Sales Agreement (the "Sales Agreement") with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (collectively the "Agents"), pursuant to which we may offer and sell from time to time through the Agents up to $150.0 million of shares of its Class A common stock, in such share amounts as we may specify by notice to the Agents, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. The potential proceeds from the Sales Agreement are expected to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2024, we had no sales under the Sales Agreement.

Tax Receivable Agreement

See Note 10 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Future Funding Requirements

Our existing capital resources, including the net proceeds from our IPO and Loans, 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 and seek regulatory approval thereof, to expand our manufacturing capabilities, to further develop the RaniPill HC device and to commercialize any of our product candidates.

To date, we have not generated any commercial product revenue. We do not expect to generate any commercial product revenue unless and until we obtain regulatory approval and commercialize any of our commercial product candidates, and we do not know when, or if at all, that will occur. We will continue to require additional capital to develop our product candidates and fund operations for the foreseeable future. Our primary uses of cash are to fund our operations, which consist primarily of research and development expenses related to our programs, manufacturing automation and scaleup, and general and administrative expenses. We expect our expenses to continue to increase in connection with our ongoing activities as we continue to advance the RaniPill GO, RaniPill HC and our product candidates.

We may seek to raise capital through equity offerings or debt financings, which may include ATM Sales, collaboration agreements, or other arrangements with other companies, or through other sources of financing. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. Our failure to raise capital as and when needed could have a negative impact on our consolidated financial condition and our ability to pursue our business strategies. We anticipate that we will need to raise substantial additional capital, the requirements of which will depend on many factors, including:

•

the progress, costs, trial design, results of and timing of our preclinical studies and clinical trials;

•

the progress, costs, and results of our research pipeline;

•

the willingness of the FDA, or other regulatory authorities to accept data from our clinical trials, as well as data from our completed and planned clinical trials and preclinical studies and other work, as the basis for review and approval of our product candidates or collaborator drugs or biologics paired with the RaniPill GO and/or RaniPill HC for various indications;

•

the outcome, costs, and timing of seeking and obtaining FDA and any other regulatory approvals;

•

the number and characteristics of product candidates that we pursue;

•

our ability to manufacture sufficient quantities of the RaniPill capsules;

•

our need to expand our research and development activities;

•

the costs associated with manufacturing our product candidates, including establishing commercial supplies and sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities;

•

the costs associated with securing and establishing commercial infrastructure;

•

the costs of acquiring, licensing, or investing in businesses, product candidates, and technologies;

•

our ability to maintain, expand, and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense, and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;

•

our need and ability to retain key management and hire scientific, technical, business, and engineering personnel;

•

the effect of competing drugs and product candidates and other market developments;

•

the timing, receipt, and amount of sales from our potential products, if approved;

•

our ability to establish strategic collaborations;

•

our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems;

•

security breaches, data losses or other disruptions affecting our information systems;

•

our ability to realize savings from any restructuring plans or cost-containment measures we have implemented or additional measures we may implement; and

•

the economic and other terms, timing of and success of any collaboration, licensing, or other arrangements which we may enter in the future.

If we raise additional capital through debt financing, we may be subject to covenants that restrict our operations including limitations on our ability to incur liens or additional debt, pay dividends, make certain investments, and engage in certain merger, consolidation, or asset sale transactions. Any debt financing or additional equity that we raise may contain terms that are not favorable to us. If we raise funds through collaborations, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our technologies, future revenue streams, research programs, product candidates or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unable to raise additional funds when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce, or terminate some or all of our development programs and clinical trials or delay investments in our manufacturing scale-up and automation. In addition, our ability to raise additional capital may be adversely impacted by potential worsening global economic conditions and the recent disruptions to and volatility in the credit and financial markets. Furthermore, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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.

The following table summarizes our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities:


	March 31,		December 31,
	2024		2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,877	$	5,864
Marketable securities		32,704		42,675
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities	$	39,581	$	48,539

As of March 31, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities of $39.6 million, compared to $48.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Based on our available cash resources and current operating plan, there is substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the date that our financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are issued. Our existing capital resources, including the net proceeds from our IPO and Loans, will not be sufficient to fund our projected operating requirements for a twelve-month period from the issuance of our financial statements.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the periods presented (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2024			2023
Net cash used in operating activities	$	(9,402	)	$	(12,154	)
Net cash provided by investing activities		10,294			4,123
Net cash provided by financing activities		121			8
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash equivalents	$	1,013		$	(8,023	)

Additionally, there was a decrease of $0.5 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets and an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and accounts payable of $0.9 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively.

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $12.2 million, which was primarily attributable to a net loss of $16.8 million and net accretion and amortization of investments in marketable securities of $0.7 million, partially offset by stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million and non-cash depreciation and amortization expense of $0.2 million. Additionally, there was an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $0.3 million and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Investing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $10.3 million, which primarily consisted of $20.4 million in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities partially offset by $10.0 million in purchases of marketable securities.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by investing activities was $4.1 million, which primarily consisted of $23.0 million in proceeds from maturities of marketable securities partially offset by $18.6 million and $0.3 million in purchases of marketable securities and property and equipment, respectively.

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million in proceeds from employee stock purchase plan.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities was de minimis.

Contractual Obligations and Other Commitments

As of March 31, 2024, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations and other commitments compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

This discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operation is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and assumptions. Our estimates are based on our historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

For further information on our significant accounting policies, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 20, 2024.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

Other Information

JOBS Act Accounting Election

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company like us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We are electing to use this extended transition period and we will therefore comply with new or revised accounting standards on the earlier of (i) when they apply to private companies; or (ii) when we lose our emerging growth company status. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable with companies that comply with public company effective dates for accounting standards. We also rely on other exemptions provided by the JOBS Act, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act unless we cease to be an emerging growth company.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earliest of (1) December 31, 2026 (the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of our IPO), (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (3) the last day of the fiscal year in which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of the second fiscal quarter of such year or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and are not required to provide the information required under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objective and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2024.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, during the three months ended March 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and are effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost–effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may become involved in litigation or other legal proceedings. We are not currently a party to any litigation or legal proceedings that, in the opinion of our management, are likely to have a material adverse effect on our business. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

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, 2023.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
