**Item 1.03. Bankruptcy or Receivership.**

*Chapter 11 Filing*

As previously disclosed, on February 13, 2023, Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. ("Sorrento" or the "Company") and its wholly-owned direct subsidiary, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together with the Company, the "Debtors"), commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The Debtors' Chapter 11 proceedings are jointly administered under the caption *In re Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., et al.* (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). The Debtors continue to operate their business in the ordinary course and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. At a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on February 16, 2023, the Debtors sought and obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court of certain "first day" motions containing customary relief intended to assure the Debtors' ability to continue their ordinary course operations during the Chapter 11 Cases.

*Debtor-in Possession Financing*

On February 19, 2023, the Debtors executed that certain Debtor-In-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the "DIP Term Sheet") with JMB Capital Partners Lending, LLC ("JMB Capital" or the "DIP Lender"), pursuant to which JMB Capital (or its designees or its assignees) are providing the Debtors with a non-amortizing super-priority senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000,000 in term loan commitments (the "DIP Facility"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Term Sheet. On February 20, 2023, the Debtors filed the *Debtors' Emergency Motion For Entry of Interim and Final Orders (I) Authorizing The Debtors to (A) Obtain Senior Secured Superpriority Postpetition Financing and (B) Use Cash Collateral, (II) Granting Liens and Providing Claims With Superpriority Administrative Expense Status, (III) Modifying The Automatic Stay, (IV) Scheduling A Final Hearing, and (V) Granting Related Relief* (the "DIP Motion") seeking the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the DIP Facility and certain related relief. A copy of the DIP Term Sheet was attached to the Motion.

At a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on February 21, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors' DIP Motion and entered an interim order (the "Interim DIP Order") approving the DIP Facility on an interim basis and providing the Debtors with the necessary liquidity to continue to operate in Chapter 11. Upon entry of the Interim DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the DIP Term Sheet, the Debtors were authorized to make a single, initial draw of $30,000,000 on the DIP Facility (the "Initial Draw"). Definitive financing documentation, including a credit agreement and other documents evidencing the DIP Facility (collectively, the "DIP Documents"), will be negotiated and executed as soon as possible following the Initial Draw on the DIP Facility. The remaining amount of the DIP Facility will be available to the Debtors, subject to entry of an order granting the DIP Motion on a final basis (the "Final Order") and compliance with the terms, conditions, and covenants to be set forth in the definitive DIP Documents, through additional draws of no less than $5,000,000 each upon five business days' written notice to the DIP Lender. The DIP Facility contains economic and other terms that are the most favorable to the Debtors compared to the other proposals received by the Debtors, including, among others: (i) immediate access to interim financing of up to $30,000,000 (with up to $75,000,000 to be available in the aggregate), (ii), minimum draws of $5,000,000, (iii) interest at a per annum rate equal to 14% payable in cash on the first day of each month in arrears (and a default interest rate that shall accrue at an additional per annum rate of 3% plus the non-default interest, payable in cash on the first day of each month), and (iv) other fees and charges as described in the DIP Term Sheet. The DIP Facility is secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Debtors' unencumbered assets, subject to certain enumerated exceptions, and second-priority liens on those assets of the Debtors that are encumbered by certain permitted liens (as set forth in the Interim DIP Order).

The DIP Facility matures on the earliest of: (i) July 31, 2023; (ii); the effective date of any chapter 11 plan of reorganization with respect to the Debtors; (iii) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) the date of the acceleration of the DIP Loans and the termination of the DIP Commitments in accordance with the DIP Documents (each as defined in the DIP Term Sheet); (v) dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (vi) forty-five (45) days after the filing of the DIP Motion (or such later date as agreed to by the DIP Lender), unless the Final Order has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or prior to such date. The DIP Facility does not contain a roll-up or cross-collateralization of prepetition debt or otherwise dictate how prepetition claims will be addressed in a chapter 11 plan.

The Debtors anticipate seeking final approval of the DIP Facility at a final hearing on the DIP Motion on or around March 29, 2023, or any such other date that is no later than forty-five (45) days following the date of filing of the DIP Motion, as required under the DIP Term Sheet. The foregoing summary of the DIP Term Sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the DIP Term Sheet, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to copies of the DIP Motion, the Interim Order, the DIP Term Sheet, and other documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court, is available online at <u>https://cases.stretto.com/sorrento</u>, a website administered by Stretto, a third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The information on that website is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute part of, this Current Report on Form 8-K.

**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.** 

*Press Release*

 

In connection with the DIP Facility, the Company issued a press release on February 21, 2023, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2.

 

*Cleansing Materials*

On or around February 13, 2023, the Debtors entered into confidentiality agreements (collectively, the "NDAs") with certain prospective debtor-in-possession financing lenders. Pursuant to those NDAs, the Company agreed to publicly disclose all material non-public information disclosed to such prospective lender (collectively, the "Cleansing Materials"). A copy of the Cleansing Materials is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.3.

The information under this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.2 and Exhibit 99.3, is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing. This report will not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information required to be disclosed solely to satisfy the requirements of Regulation FD.

**Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "predict," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook," and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the future trading market for the Company's common stock, the Chapter 11 process and the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company's actual results or outcomes and the timing of certain events may differ significantly from those discussed in any forward-looking statements. These statements are based on various assumptions and on the current expectations of the Company's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability.

Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including risks associated with the unpredictability of trading markets and whether a market will be established for the Company's common stock; the potential adverse impact of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company's liquidity and results of operations; changes in the Company's ability to meet its financial obligations during the Chapter 11 process and to maintain contracts that are critical to its operations; the outcome and timing of the Chapter 11 process; the effect of the Chapter 11 Cases on the Company's relationships with vendors, regulatory authorities, employees and other third parties; possible proceedings that may be brought by third parties in connection with the Chapter 11 process; the timing or amount of any recovery, if any, to the Company's stakeholders; objections to the DIP Facility in connection with the Chapter 11 proceedings and the related approvals of the terms and conditions of the DIP Facility; the Company's ability to comply with the restrictions imposed by the proposed terms and conditions of the DIP Facility; the expected delisting of the Company's common stock from Nasdaq and the expected trading of the Company's common stock on the Pink Open Market; and those factors discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in each case under the heading "Risk Factors," and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. If the risks materialize or assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that the Company presently does not know or that the Company currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the Company's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this document. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its assessments to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, the Company specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the Company's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this document. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

unless the Final Order (as defined below) has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or prior to such date (such earliest date, the
 "**DIP Termination Date** "). &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; · The occurrence of the DIP Termination Date shall terminate the ability of the Borrowers to borrow the Other Draws and shall terminate

earned and nonrefundable upon the Bankruptcy Court's entry of the Final Order (the "**Exit Fee** "). The Exit Fee
shall be due and payable upon the DIP Termination Date regardless of the amount of Other Draws made under the DIP Facility, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, if the DIP Termination Date has occurred solely as a result of the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default
under the DIP Documents, then the Exit Fee shall not be payable until the DIP Obligations have been accelerated by the DIP Lender. · The Commitment Fee, the Exit Fee, and the Funding Fee shall be approved by the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Interim Order and
the Final Order, respectively. If such premiums are not approved by the Bankruptcy Court, this Term Sheet shall automatically terminate

other person, party or entity: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; i. in connection with the investigation, initiation or prosecution of any claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings or other

 each case, without limitation, for lender liability or pursuant to section 105, 510, 544, 547, 548, 549, 550, or 552 of the Bankruptcy
 Code, applicable non-bankruptcy law or otherwise; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ii. to prevent, hinder, or otherwise delay the DIP Lender's enforcement or realization on the DIP Obligations, DIP Collateral,
 and the liens, claims and rights granted to such parties under the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable, each in accordance
 with the DIP Documents and the Interim Order or the Final Order, as applicable; provided, however, this shall not apply to objections
 to the Final Order; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; iii. to seek to modify any of the rights and remedies granted to the DIP Lender under the Orders (other than with the consents contemplated

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

**February 21, 2023**

**Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. Receives Court Approval<br> for $75 Million Financing in Chapter 11 Case**

SAN DIEGO, **February 21, 2023** -- Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: SRNE, "Sorrento"), a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the development of life-saving therapeutics to treat cancer, intractable pain, and infectious disease, today announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas granted interim approval of Sorrento's $75 million debtor-in-possession financing from JMB Capital Partners, in connection with Sorrento's chapter 11 case, which was filed on February 13, 2023.

The financing will provide Sorrento with immediate liquidity so that it can continue operating its business as usual during its chapter 11 case. A hearing for final approval of the financing is currently set for March 29, 2023.

Dr. Henry Ji, Ph.D., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Sorrento, commented: "We are pleased to have received approval from the Court for this financing, which will ensure Sorrento has the liquidity and ability to continue normal business operations, including the payment of employee wages and benefits and post-petition vendor obligations. We will continue our important work of developing new and innovative therapies for patients struggling with cancer, intractable pain, infectious disease, and more."

As of its chapter 11 filing, Sorrento had over approximately $1 billion in assets. However, due to the possibility of certain actions by a litigation creditor, Sorrento and its wholly-owned, non-operating subsidiary Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. sought chapter 11 relief to safeguard its business and ensure the continuation of business operations, while protecting and maximizing value for stakeholders.

Scilex Holding Company (Nasdaq: SCLX, "Scilex"), which is majority-owned by Sorrento, is <u>not</u> a debtor in Sorrento's chapter 11 case. Scilex is continuing to operate its business as usual, focusing on growing revenues, offering innovative, non-opioid pain management products, and developing meaningfully differentiated programs that address significant unmet needs and lead to better health outcomes for the millions of acute and chronic pain patients.

Latham & Watkins LLP and Jackson Walker LLP are serving as legal counsel to Sorrento. M3 Partners is serving as restructuring advisor.

**About Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.**

Sorrento is a clinical and commercial stage biopharmaceutical company developing new therapies to treat cancer, pain (non-opioid treatments), autoimmune disease and COVID-19. Sorrento's multimodal, multipronged approach to fighting cancer is made possible by its extensive immuno-oncology platforms, including key assets such as next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors ("TKIs"), fully human antibodies ("G-MAB™ library"), immuno-cellular therapies ("DAR-T™"), antibody-drug conjugates ("ADCs"), and oncolytic virus ("Seprehvec™"). Sorrento is also developing potential antiviral therapies and vaccines against coronaviruses, including STI-1558, COVI-MSC<sup>TM</sup>; and diagnostic test solutions, including COVIMARK™.

Sorrento's commitment to life-enhancing therapies for patients is also demonstrated by our effort to advance a TRPV1 agonist, non-opioid pain management small molecule, resiniferatoxin ("RTX"), and SP-102 (10 mg, dexamethasone sodium phosphate viscous gel) (SEMDEXA™), a novel, viscous gel formulation of a widely used corticosteroid for epidural injections to treat lumbosacral radicular pain, or sciatica, and to commercialize ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% for the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia (PHN). RTX has been cleared for a Phase II trial for intractable pain associated with cancer and a Phase II trial in osteoarthritis patients. Positive final results from the Phase III Pivotal Trial C.L.E.A.R. Program for SEMDEXA™, its novel, non-opioid product for the treatment of lumbosacral radicular pain (sciatica), were announced in March 2022. ZTlido® was approved by the FDA on February 28, 2018.

Scilex in-licensed the exclusive right to commercialize Gloperba® (colchicine USP) oral solution, an FDA-approved prophylactic treatment for painful gout flares in adults, in the U.S. Scilex is planning to commercialize Gloperba® in 2023 and is well-positioned to market and distribute the product. Scilex's three product candidates are SP-102 (injectable dexamethasone sodium phosphate viscous gel product containing 10 mg dexamethasone), or SEMDEXA™, a Phase 3, novel, viscous gel formulation of a widely used corticosteroid for epidural injections to treat lumbosacral radicular pain, or sciatica, with FDA Fast Track status; SP-103 (lidocaine topical system) 5.4%, a Phase 2, triple-strength formulation of ZTlido®, for the treatment of low back pain, with FDA Fast Track status; and SP-104, 4.5 mg Delayed Burst Release Low Dose Naltrexone Hydrochloride (DBR-LDN) Capsule, for the treatment of chronic pain, fibromyalgia that has completed multiple Phase 1 trial programs and expected to initiate Phase 2 trials this year.
