PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

         The following is a summary of what we believe to be the most important aspects of our business and the offering of our securities under this prospectus. We urge you to read this entire prospectus, including the more detailed financial statements, notes to the financial statements and other information incorporated by reference from our other filings with the SEC. Each of the risk factors could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition, as well as adversely affect the value of an investment in our securities.

Overview

        We are a commercial stage pharmaceutical company focused on developing novel, sustainably derived gastrointestinal products on a global basis. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Napo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Napo"), focuses on developing and commercializing proprietary human gastrointestinal pharmaceuticals for the global marketplace from plants used traditionally in rainforest areas. Our Mytesi (crofelemer) product is a first-in-class anti-secretory agent, approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for the symptomatic relief of noninfectious diarrhea in adults with HIV/AIDS on antiretroviral therapy.

        Jaguar was founded in San Francisco, California as a Delaware corporation on June 6, 2013. Napo formed Jaguar to develop and commercialize animal health products. Effective as of December 31, 2013, Jaguar was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Napo, and, until May 13, 2015, Jaguar was a majority-owned subsidiary of Napo. On July 31, 2017, the merger of Jaguar Animal Health, Inc. and Napo became effective, at which point Jaguar Animal Health's name changed to Jaguar Health, Inc. and Napo began operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jaguar focused on human health and the ongoing commercialization of, and development of follow-on indications for Mytesi. Most of the activities of the Company are now focused on the commercialization of Mytesi and development of follow-on indications for crofelemer and a second-generation anti-secretory product, lechlemer. In the field of animal health, we have limited activities which are focused on developing and commercializing first-in-class gastrointestinal products for dogs, dairy calves, foals, and high value horses.

        We believe Jaguar is poised to realize a number of synergistic, value adding benefits—and an expanded pipeline of potential blockbuster human follow-on indications of crofelemer, and a second-generation anti-secretory agent—upon which to build global partnerships. As previously announced, Jaguar, through Napo, now holds extensive global rights for Mytesi, and crofelemer manufacturing is being conducted at two FDA-inspected and approved locations, including a recently developed, multimillion-dollar commercial manufacturing facility. Additionally, several of the drug product candidates in Jaguar's Mytesi pipeline are backed by strong Phase 2 evidence from completed Phase 2 trials.

        Mytesi is a novel, first-in-class anti-secretory agent which has a basic normalizing effect locally on the gut, and this mechanism of action has the potential to benefit multiple gastrointestinal disorders. Mytesi is in development for multiple possible follow-on indications, including cancer therapy-related diarrhea (CTD); orphan-drug indications for infants and children with congenital diarrheal disorders (CDDs) and short bowel syndrome (SBS); supportive care for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); and for idiopathic/functional diarrhea. In addition, a second-generation proprietary anti-secretory agent, lechlemer, is in development for cholera. Mytesi has received orphan-drug designation for SBS.

Description of the Issuance of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock

Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement

        On March 23, 2018, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement") with Sagard Capital Partners, L.P. ("Sagard"), pursuant to which we, in a private placement, agreed to issue and sell to Sagard 5,524,926 shares of Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Shares"), for an aggregate purchase price of $9,199,002 (the "Preferred Stock Offering"). The Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement also provides for customary representations, warranties and covenants among the parties. Among other things, the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement requires that we (i) file prior to the initial closing a certificate of designation providing for the rights, preferences and privileges of the Preferred Shares with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the "Certificate of Designation") and (ii) enter into a registration rights agreement with Sagard (the "Registration Rights Agreement") providing for the registration of shares of our Common Stock, issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock (the "Conversion Shares"). In addition, so long as Sagard or its affiliates own, in the aggregate, no less than 50% or more of the cumulative amount of the Preferred Stock and Conversion Shares issued in the Preferred Stock Offering, Sagard and its affiliates have the right to purchase (x) 100% of the first $10 million of any new securities issued by us and thereafter (y) a pro rata portion of any new securities that we may issue from time to time, subject to certain exceptions specified in the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement.

        The Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement also provides that Sagard has the right to designate at least one non-voting observer (subject to increase to two if at any time two designees of the Preferred Stock and the Conversion Shares are not represented on the board of directors) to attend meetings of the Board, the board of directors of any of our subsidiaries and each committee of any of the foregoing (a "Board Observer"). In addition, at such time as no shares of Preferred Stock are outstanding, and so long as Sagard holds (i) at least 35% of the total number of the Conversion Shares that have been issued upon conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock issued in the Preferred Stock Offering, Sagard shall be entitled thereunder to nominate two directors of the Company (each, a "Series A Director") and (ii) less than 35% but at least 20% of the total number of the Conversion Shares that have been issued upon conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock issued in the Preferred Stock Offering, Sagard shall be entitled thereunder to nominate one director of the Company.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Series A Directors shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with our obligations, if any, under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including Nasdaq Listing Rule 5640). The Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement provides that, if one Series A Director may not be appointed due to compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5640, then Sagard shall be entitled to designate one additional Board Observer to attend meetings of the board of directors, the board of directors of any of our subsidiaries and each committee of any of the foregoing as an observer.

Terms of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock

        The Certificate of Designation authorizes 5,524,926 shares of Preferred Stock and provides for the rights, preferences and privileges of such Preferred Stock. Any reference to share prices in the below description of the Preferred Stock, including but not limited to the conversion price for the Preferred Stock and the amount of the liquidation preference per share, is subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization, as further described in the Certificate of Designation.

Table of Contents

    Dividends

        Holders of shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to participate equally and ratably with the holders of shares of Common Stock in all dividends paid and distributions made to the holders of Common Stock on the shares of Common Stock on an as converted basis.

    Election of Directors and Voting Rights

        The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock are entitled to elect two (2) members of the Company's Board of Directors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Series A Directors shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with the Company's obligations, if any, under the rules or regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market (including Nasdaq Listing Rule 5640).

        The holders of shares of Preferred Stock have the right to vote with holders of shares of the Common Stock, voting together as one class on all other matters, with each share of Preferred Stock entitling the holder thereof to cast that number of votes per share as is equal to the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which it is then convertible; provided that, holders of shares of Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote together with the holders of Common Stock on any matter presented to the stockholders of the Company to the extent that such vote would be in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5640.

    Voluntary Conversion

        Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible into 0.08571429 shares of Common Stock at an effective conversion price of $19.425 per share (based on an original price per Preferred Share of $1.665). Subject to certain limited exceptions, the shares of Preferred Stock cannot be offered, pledged or sold by Sagard for one year from the March 23, 2018 date of issuance. The conversion price is subject to certain adjustments in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, combination or other similar recapitalization.

    Mandatory Conversion

        The shares of Preferred Stock will be mandatorily converted upon the date and time, or the occurrence of an event, specified by vote or written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock at a conversion price of $19.425 per share.

    Optional Redemption

        At any time after the first anniversary of the issuance of the Preferred Stock, so long as certain call conditions specified in the Certificate of Designation have been satisfied, the Company shall have the right to offer to redeem shares of Preferred Stock at a share price equal to two times the original share issue price of the Preferred Stock. The Company is only permitted to exercise this right to redeem on two occasions, the first of which must be for an aggregate redemption price of $9,199,001 and the second of which must be for all remaining shares of Preferred Stock thereafter remaining. If a holder of Preferred Stock fails to accept the Company's redemption offer, such holder's shares of Preferred Stock shall be automatically converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of "Mandatory Conversion" as described above.

    Mandatory Redemption

        If (i) the Company's consolidated net revenues attributable to the Mytesi products ("Mytesi Revenues") for the six-month period ended March 31, 2021 are less than $22 million, (ii) the average volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the thirty days immediately prior to the

Table of Contents

Measurement Date (as defined below) is less than $105.00 or (iii) the Company fails to file with the SEC on or before June 30, 2021 its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021, then the holders of at least a majority of shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding may require the Company to redeem all shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding at a per share purchase price equal to $2.3057. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, "Measurement Date" means the later of (x) April 30, 2021 and (y) the date on which the Company files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2021 (but in no event later than June 30, 2021).

        The mandatory redemption right described above shall terminate if, prior to the Measurement Date, both (i) the Mytesi Revenues for any six-month period ending at the end of a calendar quarter are equal to or exceed $22 million and (ii) the average volume-weighted average price of the Common Stock for the thirty days immediately preceding the end of such calendar quarter is equal to or greater than $105.00.

        We are filing the registration statement on Form S-1, of which this prospectus is a part, to fulfill our contractual obligations under the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement to provide for the resale by the Selling Stockholder of up to 473,565 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares.

Recent Developments

Reverse Stock Split and Decrease in Authorized Shares

        On June 3, 2019, we filed an amendment to our Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect on June 7, 2019, a 1-for-70 reverse split of our voting common stock. Accordingly, all of the stock figures and related market, conversion and exercise prices in this prospectus have been adjusted to reflect the reverse split.

Sagard Consent and Waiver to Refinancing of Existing Notes

        On May 28, 2019, in consideration for the consent and waiver by Sagard to the refinancing of approximately $10.5 million outstanding aggregate amount of convertible promissory notes issued by Napo pursuant to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated March 31, 2017, by and between Napo, Kingdon Associates, M. Kingdon Offshore Master Fund L.P., Kingdon Family Partnership, L.P., and Kingdon Credit Master Fund L.P. (collectively, the "Existing Notes"), the Company agreed to pay Sagard a consent fee in an amount equal to (i) $250,000, if paid in cash, or (ii) $400,000, if paid in shares of Common Stock (if issued, the "Consent Shares"), where the number of shares issuable will be equal to $400,000 divided by the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding payment. The consent fee is payable five days after the closing of an underwritten public offering of Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Public Offering"), provided that if such offering does not occur before July 31, 2019, the fee will be paid no later than July 31, 2019. The Company also agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the amount owed pursuant to the Exchange Notes does not exceed $10,535,900 in the aggregate.

Sagard Participation in Notes Financing

        On May 30, 2019, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Sagard, pursuant to which the Company issued a promissory note in the principal amount of $500,000 (the "Note") and a 5-year warrant (the "Warrant") to purchase $375,000 in shares of Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares"). The Note bears interest at a rate of 12% per annum and matures on July 18, 2019 (the "Maturity Date"). In connection with this transaction, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with Sagard, pursuant to which the Company agreed to register the Warrant Shares within 60 calendar days following the Maturity Date and to use reasonable best efforts

Table of Contents

to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days following the Maturity Date. The exercise price for the Warrant is the price per share at which the Company issues Common Stock in the Public Offering, provided that if the Company has not consummated a Public Offering by the Maturity Date, then the Warrant exercise price will be equal to the closing sales price of the Common Stock on the Maturity Date. The Company will use the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

For additional information regarding the issuance of those shares of Common Stock and Preferred Shares and the relationship between the Selling Stockholder and us, see "Prospectus Summary—Description of the Issuance of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock" above. We are registering shares of Common Stock in order to permit the Selling Stockholder to offer the shares for resale from time to time.

    the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder, based on its ownership of the shares of Common Stock, as of June 7, 2019 assuming the conversion of all Preferred Stock held by the Selling Stockholder on that date, without regard to any limitations on exercises prior to the sale of the shares covered by this prospectus;

    the number of shares that may be offered by the Selling Stockholder pursuant to this prospectus;

    the number of shares to be beneficially owned by the Selling Stockholder and its affiliates following the sale of any shares covered by this prospectus; and

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        The Selling Stockholder of the Common Stock and any of its pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock covered hereby on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

    ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

    block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

    purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

    an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

    privately negotiated transactions;

    settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;

    in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

    through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

    a combination of any such methods of sale; or

    any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

        The Selling Stockholder may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

        Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholder may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholder (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

        In connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholder may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholder may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to close out its short positions, or loan or pledge the common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

        The Selling Stockholder and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. The Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any

written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.

        The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholder against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

        Because the Selling Stockholder may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. The Selling Stockholder has advised us that there is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholder.

        We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until all of the shares continuing to have registration rights have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares of Common Stock covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

        Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholder will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholder or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholder and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

DIVIDEND POLICY

        We have never paid any cash dividends on our common stock to date. We currently intend to retain all of our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends for at least the next five years, if ever. Additionally, for so long as Sagard Capital Partners, L.P. or its affiliates hold at least 35% of the shares of our Preferred Stock, we would be required to obtain the written consent or vote of holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of Preferred Stock prior to declaring or paying any dividends. Any future determination as to the payment of cash dividends on our common stock will be at our board of directors' discretion and will depend on our financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and other factors that our board of directors considers to be relevant.
