 Sigma Merger Sub, Semnur Equityholders’ Representative, and for limited purposes, Sorrento. Pursuant to the Semnur Merger Agreement, Sigma Merger Sub merged with and into us (the “Semnur Merger”), and we survived as Scilex’s wholly owned subsidiary.

Pursuant to the Semnur Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein, Scilex agreed to pay the former holders of Semnur’s capital stock (the “Semnur Equityholders”) up to $280.0 million in aggregate contingent cash consideration based on the achievement of certain milestones (which amount is expected to be charged back to Semnur through an intercompany arrangement), comprised of a $40.0 million payment that will be due upon obtaining the first approval of a NDA of a Semnur product by the FDA and additional payments that will be due upon the achievement of certain amounts of net sales of Semnur products, as follows: (i) a $20.0 million payment upon the achievement of $100.0 million in cumulative net sales of a Semnur product, (ii) a $20.0 million payment upon the achievement of $250.0 million in cumulative net sales of a Semnur product, (iii) a $50.0 million payment upon the achievement of $500.0 million in cumulative net sales of a Semnur product, and (iv) a $150.0 million payment upon the achievement of $750.0 million in cumulative net sales of a Semnur product. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, none of the foregoing payments have been triggered.
