12. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company enters into lease arrangements for office and laboratory facilities under operating leases accounted for in accordance with ASC 842 "Leases" ("ASC 842"). The Company’s future minimum lease payments under operating leases are presented within the lease footnote (Note 8).

The Company’s lease liabilities represent a contractual commitment to make future payments over the lease term. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had no additional significant lease commitments outside of those recognized as operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.

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.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The Company was party to a TRA with certain of the Continuing LLC Owners (Note 2). As of December 31, 2025, 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.

In December 2025, as contemplated by the Private Placement, the Company entered into the TRA Termination Agreement by and between the Company and ICL, pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate the TRA and disclaim any rights or interests thereunder. As a result of the termination, the Company has no further obligations under the TRA, and no tax benefit payments or early termination payments were required in connection with such termination. The TRA Termination Agreement provides for the mutual release of the parties from all obligations under the TRA, effective as of December 31, 2025.

About Commitments Disclosures

Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.

Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
