### SWK HOLDINGS CORPORATION

#### 5956 Sherry Lane, Suite 650

#### Dallas, Texas 75225

### PROXY STATEMENT

#### April 29, 2025
The accompanying proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of SWK Holdings Corporation, a Delaware corporation, for use at our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), which will be held in a virtual meeting format only via the Internet on June 13, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., Central Time, and at any postponement or adjournment of such meeting. Our stockholders are encouraged to review the information provided in this Proxy Statement in conjunction with our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K, a copy of which also accompanies this Proxy Statement. References in this Proxy Statement to “SWK,” the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” collectively refer to SWK Holdings Corporation.

Many of our stockholders hold their common stock through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares, and these proxy materials (including a voting instruction card) are being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or nominee who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or nominee on how to vote and are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares at the Annual Meeting unless you request and obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee. Please note that if you request a legal proxy, any previously executed proxy will be revoked, and your vote will not be counted unless you appear at the Annual Meeting and vote at the Annual Meeting or legally appoint another proxy to vote on your behalf. Your broker, bank or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the broker, bank or nominee on how to vote your shares.
