**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute "forward-looking statements" for purposes of federal securities laws. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q including, without limitation, in the section titled "*Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.*" In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as "plan," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "contemplate," "intend," "outlook," "estimate," "forecast," "project," "continue," "could," "may," "might," "possible," "potential," "predict," "should," "will," "would" and other similar words and expressions (including the negative of any of the foregoing), but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

These forward-looking statements are based on information available as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our management's current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and involve a number of judgments, known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company and our directors, officers and affiliates. There can be no assurance that future developments will be those that have been anticipated. Accordingly, forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in "*Risk Factors*" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"), as updated by the risk factors described under the heading "Risk Factors" in Part II - Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may include, but are not limited to, statements about:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our public securities' liquidity and trading;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to raise financing in the future;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our future use of equity or debt financings to execute our business strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to use cash on hand to meet current and future financial obligations, including funding our operations, debt service requirements and capital expenditures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, employees and key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to compete effectively in a highly competitive market;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the competition from larger biotechnology companies that have greater resources, technology, relationships and/or expertise;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the ability to protect and enhance our corporate reputation and brand;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•anticipated regulatory and legal developments in the United States and foreign countries in which we may seek regulatory

approval for our product candidates in the future;

ii

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the impact from future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of any of our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to research, discover and develop additional product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to grow and manage growth profitably;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to execute our business plans and strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to prevent, respond to, and recover from a cybersecurity incident;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the effect of any geopolitical conflicts or new or increased international tariffs, including mitigation efforts and economic effects, on any of the foregoing or other aspects of our business operations, including but not limited to our clinical studies and clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the effect of global economic and political developments, including the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•other factors detailed under the section titled "Risk Factors" in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by the risk factors described in the section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled "*Risk Factors.*"

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made by our management prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. We do not undertake any obligation to update, add or to otherwise correct any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events, inaccuracies that become apparent after the date hereof or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

**SCILEX HOLDING COMPANY** 

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

**1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation**

***Organization and Principal Activities***

Scilex Holding Company ("Scilex" and together with its controlled subsidiaries, the "Company") is an innovative revenue-generating company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-opioid pain management products for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. The Company was originally formed in 2019 and currently has six subsidiaries, of which the following four subsidiaries are wholly owned: Scilex Inc. ("Legacy Scilex"), Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Scilex Pharma"), SCLX DRE Holdings LLC, and SCLX Stock Acquisition JV LLC ("SCLX JV"); and the following two subsidiaries are controlled by Scilex: Scilex Bio, Inc. ("Scilex Bio") and Semnur Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Semnur"). The business combination with Vickers (the "Business Combination") was closed in November 2022.

The Company launched its first commercial product in October 2018, ZTlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% ("ZTlido"), a prescription lidocaine topical system that is designed with novel technology to address the limitations of current prescription lidocaine therapies by providing significantly improved adhesion and continuous pain relief throughout the 12-hour administration period. In June 2022, the Company in-licensed the exclusive right to commercialize GLOPERBA (colchicine USP) oral solution ("GLOPERBA"), a U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA")-approved prophylactic treatment for painful gout flares in adults, in the United States ("U.S."). In February 2023, the Company acquired the rights related to ELYXYB (celecoxib oral solution) ("ELYXYB") and the commercialization thereof in the U.S. and Canada. ELYXYB is a first-line treatment and the only FDA-approved, ready-to-use oral solution for the acute treatment of migraine, with or without aura, in adults. The Company launched ELYXYB in the U.S. in April 2023 and commercialized GLOPERBA in the U.S. in June 2024. In January 2025, the Company received approval from Health Canada's Pharmaceutical Drugs Directorate, Bureau of Cardiology, Allergy and Neurological Sciences for ELYXYB for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in Canada and in-licensed the rights to commercialize GLOPERBA outside the U.S.

The Company is currently developing three product candidates, SP-102 (10 mg, dexamethasone sodium phosphate viscous gel), a novel, viscous gel formulation of a widely used corticosteroid for epidural injections to treat lumbosacral radicular pain, or sciatica for which the Company has completed a Phase 3 study ("SP-102" or "SEMDEXA"), SP-103 (lidocaine topical system) 5.4% ("SP-103"), a next-generation, triple-strength formulation of ZTlido, for the treatment of chronic neck pain and for which the Company completed a Phase 2 trial in acute low back pain ("LBP"), and SP-104 (4.5 mg, low-dose naltrexone hydrochloride delayed-burst release low dose naltrexone hydrochloride capsules) ("SP-104"), a novel low-dose delayed-release naltrexone hydrochloride being developed for the treatment of fibromyalgia, for which Phase 1 trials were completed. The Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to the development of SP-102, SP-103 and SP-104, and the commercialization of ZTlido, ELYXYB and GLOPERBA.

***Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation***

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") regarding interim financial reporting of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements include 100% of the accounts of the wholly owned and majority owned subsidiaries as well as a variable interest entity for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The proportion of profit and loss and changes in equity allocated to the shareholders of the Company and the non-controlling interests are determined on the basis of existing ownership interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

------

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2025 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025 or for any future periods.

***Reverse Stock Split***

On April 3, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") approved a reverse stock split of the Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-35 (the "Reverse Stock Split"), which was effected on April 15, 2025. As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 35 shares of pre-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock was combined into one share of post-Reverse Stock Split Common Stock, without any change in par value per share. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, as fractional shares of Common Stock were rounded down to the nearest whole share. Stockholders who would have otherwise received a fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split, received cash in lieu of the fractional share. All Common Stock amounts and references have been retroactively adjusted for all figures presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split unless specifically stated otherwise. The Company also adjusted the amounts for shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding warrants, outstanding stock options and shares reserved under the Company's stock-based compensation plans, with the exception of the outstanding Penny Warrants and the Deposit Warrant (each as defined below), which do not contain antidilution provisions and therefore were not adjusted in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, to the extent they were outstanding at the time of the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, a deemed dividend of $43.8 million, representing the increase in value to Penny Warrant holders. The Company has an accumulated deficit, as a result, the deemed dividend was not recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital, resulting in a net impact of zero to additional paid-in capital in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. The non-cash deemed dividend has been included as an increase to the net loss allocated to common shareholders, and thus increase the net loss per share for both basic and diluted net loss per share.

***Segments***

Operating segments are identified as components of an entity where separate discrete financial information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assessing performance. The Company has determined that its CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company is engaged primarily in the development of non-opioid products focused on pain management based on its platform technologies and all sales are based in the United States. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it operates its business as a single, reportable segment. The CODM reviews consolidated operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company based on consolidated results that are reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company has also evaluated the significant segment expenses incurred by the single segment that are regularly provided to the CODM and concluded they are consistent with those reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and include cost of revenue, research and development, selling, general and administrative. The Company manages assets on a consolidated basis as reported on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes contained herein include the measure of profit or loss, net revenue, categories of expenses, assets and other financial information that is evaluated by the CODM.

***Use of Estimates***

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. These estimates include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, fair value of financial instruments and certain assumptions used in estimating stock-based compensation, the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisitions, and the noncontrolling interests recognized in acquisitions. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

------

***Customer and Supplier Concentration Risk***

The Company had four customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, each of which individually generated 10% or more of the Company's total revenue. These customers accounted for 99% of the Company's revenue for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and individually ranging from 17% to 30% and 12% to 35%, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, these customers represented 99% and 94% of the Company's outstanding accounts receivable, individually ranging between 19% and 30%, and 17% and 27% for respective periods. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company purchased ZTlido, ELYXYB and GLOPERBA inventories from its sole suppliers, Itochu Chemical Frontier Corporation ("Itochu"), Contract Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Canada ("CPL") and Ferndale Laboratories, Inc., respectively. This exposes the Company to concentration of customer and supplier risk. The Company monitors the financial condition of its customers, limits its credit exposure by setting credit limits, and has not experienced any credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

***Significant Accounting Policies***

There have been no significant changes to the accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Fair Value Measurements***

Financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying values of the Company's financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate to their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The valuation of the derivative warrant liability for the Private Warrants, the February 2024 BDO Firm Warrants, the Deposit Warrant, the April RDO Warrants, the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants and the December 2024 RDO Common Warrants (each as defined below) is outlined in Note 4, utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company has chosen the fair value option for the Convertible Debentures, Oramed Note, FSF Deposit and Tranche B Notes (each as defined below), with the valuation methodologies detailed in Note 7. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities as follows:

**Level 1 -** Observable inputs such as unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

**Level 2 -** Inputs (other than quoted prices included in Level 1) that are either directly or indirectly observable inputs for similar assets or liabilities. These include quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and

**Level 3 -** Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

***Cash and Cash Equivalents***

The Company considers all highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into cash without penalty and with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents are valued at cost, which approximate their fair value. Cash equivalents were immaterial as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

***Accounts Receivable, Net***

Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for expected credit losses and prompt payment discounts. Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables from product sales to customers, which are generally unsecured.

------

Estimated credit losses related to trade accounts receivable are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses and as an allowance for expected credit losses within accounts receivable, net. The Company reviews reserves and makes adjustments based on historical experience, current economic conditions and known collectability issues and disputes. When internal collection efforts on accounts have been exhausted, the accounts are written off by reducing the allowance for expected credit losses. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, allowances for credit losses on accounts receivable were nil and $1.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, allowances for prompt payment discounts were $0.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

***The Oramed Note, FSF Deposit and Tranche B Notes***

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the FSF Deposit and the Tranche B Notes (as defined in Note 2 "*Liquidity and Going Concern*" below) and the Oramed Note (as defined in Note 4 "*Fair Value Measurements*" below) that were issued in June 2024, October 2024 and September 2023, respectively, as discussed further in Note 7. The Company recorded these financial instruments at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value recorded as change in fair value of debt and liability instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, which are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Interest expense related to these financial instruments is included in the changes in fair value. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to these financial instruments were expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the weighted-average interest rates for the short-term loans, including these financial instruments, were 8.74% and 6.67%, respectively.

***Treasury Stock***

The Company uses the cost method to account for repurchases of its stock. In the computation of net (loss) income per share, treasury shares are not included as part of the outstanding shares.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03, *Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures*, which will require additional expense disclosures for all public entities. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period, an entity will disclose certain disaggregated expenses included in each relevant expense caption, as well as the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual periods, an entity's definition of selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the incremental disclosures that will be required in its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-04, *Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options*, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. ASU 2024-04 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in ASU 2020-06. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, *Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement*, which clarifies the business combination accounting for joint venture formations. The amendments in the ASU seek to reduce diversity in practice that has resulted from a lack of authoritative guidance regarding the accounting for the formation of joint ventures in separate financial statements. The amendments also seek to clarify the initial measurement of joint venture net assets, including businesses contributed to a joint venture. The guidance is applicable to all entities involved in the formation of a joint venture. The amendments are effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the incremental disclosures that will be required in its consolidated financial statements.

**2. Liquidity and Going Concern**

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Management has assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for at least one year after the issuance date of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

On November 17, 2022, the Company entered into a standby equity purchase agreement (the "Original Purchase Agreement") with YA II PN, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempt limited partnership ("Yorkville"). On February 8, 2023, the Company entered into an amended and restated standby equity purchase agreement with Yorkville (the "A&R Yorkville Purchase Agreement"), amending, restating and superseding the Original Purchase Agreement. On, and effective as of, March 25, 2024, the Company and Yorkville mutually agreed to terminate the A&R Yorkville Purchase Agreement.

On January 8, 2023, the Company entered into a standby equity purchase agreement (the "B. Riley Purchase Agreement" and together with A&R Yorkville Purchase Agreement, the "Standby Equity Purchase Agreements") with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC ("B. Riley"). Pursuant to each of the Standby Equity Purchase Agreements, the Company had the right, but not the obligation, to sell to each of Yorkville and B. Riley up to $500.0 million of shares of Common Stock at its request any time during the 36 months following the date on which the registration statement related to each such purchase agreement was initially declared effective by the SEC. As consideration for Yorkville's and B. Riley's respective commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock at the Company's direction, the Company issued 7,142 commitment shares to each of Yorkville (the "Yorkville Commitment Shares") and B. Riley (the "B. Riley Commitment Shares"). On, and effective as of, February 16, 2024, the Company and B. Riley mutually agreed to terminate the B. Riley Purchase Agreement.

On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Yorkville (the "Yorkville SPA"), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to Yorkville convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million (the "Convertible Debentures") for net cash proceeds of $24.0 million. The Company fully repaid the Convertible Debentures in March 2024.

On June 27, 2023, Scilex Pharma entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the "eCapital Credit Agreement") with eCapital Healthcare Corp. (the "Lender"), pursuant to which the Lender made available loans (the "Revolving Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million (the "Facility Cap"). The proceeds of the Revolving Facility were used for (i) transaction fees incurred in connection with the eCapital Credit Agreement, (ii) working capital needs of Scilex Pharma and (iii) other uses not prohibited under the eCapital Credit Agreement. On October 8, 2024, Scilex Pharma paid off the outstanding amount of all obligations and indebtedness of Scilex Pharma owing to the Lender under the eCapital Credit Agreement. Accordingly, the eCapital Credit Agreement, the related Loan Documents (as defined in the eCapital Credit Agreement) and the Subordination Agreement (each as defined in the eCapital Credit Agreement) were terminated, canceled and are of no further force and effect.

On December 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement") with B. Riley Securities, Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the "Sales Agents"), which agreement was voluntarily terminated by the Company effective as of March 5, 2025. Pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company was able to offer and sell (the "Offering") shares of Common Stock up to $170.0 million (the "ATM Shares"), through or to the Sales Agents as part of the Offering. The Company had no obligation to sell any shares of Common Stock under the ATM Sales Agreement and could suspend offers thereunder at any time. As of June 30, 2025, no sales of Common Stock had been made under the ATM Sales Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company sold 2,637 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $0.1 million.

On June 11, 2024, the Company entered into that certain Commitment Side Letter (the "Commitment Letter") with FSF 33433 LLC ("FSF Lender"), pursuant to which FSF Lender committed to provide the Company a loan (the "FSF Loan") in the aggregate amount of $100.0 million (the "Commitment Amount"). The Commitment Amount shall be payable as follows: (i) $85.0 million no later than the date that is 70 days following the date on which the Company receives the FSF Deposit (as defined below) (the "Outside Date" and the funding of the initial $85.0 million, the "Initial Closing") and (ii) the remaining $15.0 million within 60 days following the Initial Closing (the funding of the second $15.0 million, the "Second Closing"). Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, FSF Lender was required to provide

------

the Company a non-refundable deposit in immediately available funds in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million (the "FSF Deposit" and the date on which such funds are fully received, the "Deposit Date"), which amount was creditable towards the $85.0 million required to be funded by FSF Lender at the Initial Closing. The Company received the FSF Deposit on June 18, 2024 and issued to FSF Lender a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of the Common Stock (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction, provided that there shall not be any adjustment to the exercise price of the warrant in the event the Company combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares) (the "Deposit Warrant"), with an exercise price of $1.20 per share. The Deposit Warrant is immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

On September 17, 2024, the Company entered into a Satisfaction Agreement (the "Satisfaction Agreement") with FSF Lender and Endeavor Distribution LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of FSF Lender ("Endeavor"), pursuant to which the remaining obligations in respect of the FSF Deposit shall be fully satisfied by the Company's delivery of 28,000 cartons of ZTlido to Endeavor (the "Additional Product"), which delivery shall occur no later than December 31, 2024. Upon satisfaction of such remaining obligations, the Commitment Letter shall be terminated and of no further force or effect and neither FSF Lender nor the Company shall have any further liability or obligations thereunder. In consideration of Endeavor assuming the payment obligation of the Company in respect of the FSF Deposit, Endeavor would not be responsible for making any payment to the Company for (i) the product already delivered as of the date of such agreement in an amount of approximately $13.2 million and (ii) the Additional Product. In November 2024, the Company delivered the Additional Product to Endeavor and fully satisfied the remaining obligations in respect of the FSF Deposit.

On October 7, 2024, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors (collectively, the "Tranche B Investors") and Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Oramed", and together with the Tranche B Investors, the "Tranche B Noteholders"), to issue and sell, in a registered offering by the Company directly to the Tranche B Noteholders, a new tranche B of senior secured convertible notes of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million (the "Tranche B Notes"), which notes will mature on the two-year anniversary of the issuance date and will be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a current conversion price equal to $36.40 per share. In exchange for the issuance of the Tranche B Notes to the Tranche B Investors, the Company has received an aggregate amount of $22,500,000 in cash, excluding fees and expenses payable by the Company. In consideration for the Tranche B Notes issued to Oramed, the Company has received from Oramed an exchange and reduction of the principal balance under the Oramed Note (as defined below) of $22,500,000.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's negative working capital was $272.3 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had operating losses of $48.4 million and cash flows received from operating activities of $13.1 million. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $631.4 million as of June 30, 2025.

The Company has plans to obtain additional resources to fund its currently planned operations and expenditures and to service its debt obligations (whether under the Oramed Note, the Tranche B Notes or otherwise) for at least twelve months from the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, government contracts or other strategic transactions. The Company's plans are also dependent upon the success of future sales of ZTlido, ELYXYB and GLOPERBA, among which GLOPERBA and ELYXYB are still in the early stages of commercialization.

Although the Company believes such plans, if executed, should provide the Company with financing to meet its needs, successful completion of such plans is dependent on factors outside the Company's control. As a result, management has concluded that the aforementioned conditions, among other things, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued.

***Scilex Bio, Inc. Acquisition***

On April 17, 2025, the Company and IPMC Company ("IPMC") jointly established Scilex Bio, a newly formed legal entity created to develop and commercialize KDS2010, a next-generation reversible MAO-B Inhibitor, a novel inhibitor of aberrant GABA production in reactive astrocytes for the treatment of obesity and neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's disease in the United States. At formation, the Company contributed 5,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, of Semnur (the "Semnur Common Stock") to Scilex Bio in exchange for a 60% equity interest. IPMC contributed certain license and commercialization rights to KDS2010 in exchange for a 40% equity interest.

The Company evaluated Scilex Bio under the variable interest entity ("VIE") model in accordance with ASC 810 and concluded that Scilex Bio is a VIE because it lacked sufficient equity at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated support. The Company was determined to be the primary beneficiary of Scilex Bio based on its power to direct key activities through its majority board representation and its significant economic exposure through its 60% equity interest. As a result, the Company consolidated Scilex Bio beginning on the formation date.

The Company further concluded that Scilex Bio did not meet the definition of a business under ASC 805, *Business Combinations*. Therefore, the transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition under ASC 805-50. As the shares of Semnur Common Stock were contributed by the Company (the parent) to an entity under common control, they were recorded at their historical carrying value of $0 in the consolidated condensed financial statements. The KDS2010 license rights contributed by IPMC were recorded at 40% of their estimated fair value of $8.1 million for $4.4 million and immediately expensed as in-process research and development ("IPR&D") in accordance with ASC 730, *Research and Development*, as the contributed IP had no alternative future use. A current liability of $1.1 million was also recognized for the initial upfront payment due under the licensing arrangement (further discussed below).

------

Additionally, the Company recorded $1.5 million in additional paid-in capital as a capital contribution. Net loss from Scilex Bio attributable to the noncontrolling interest was $1.7 million.

As of June 30, 2025, Scilex Bio had not commenced revenue-generating operations and remains focused on early-stage development efforts for KDS2010. The Company will reassess its primary beneficiary status and the VIE conclusion for Scilex Bio upon the occurrence of any reconsideration events.

In connection with the formation of Scilex Bio, on April 17, 2025, the entity entered into a license agreement with IPMC and NeuroBioGen Company ("NBG"), under which it obtained exclusive rights to develop and commercialize KDS2010 globally, except for Korea. Under the terms of the agreement, Scilex Bio may be required to make aggregate payments of up to KRW 6.5 trillion (approximately $4.8 billion) to NBG, consisting of an upfront fee of KRW 1.5 billion (approximately $1.1 million), and KRW 68.5 billion (approximately $50.7 million) contingent upon the achievement of specified development, regulatory and commercial milestones. Scilex Bio is also required to pay royalties equal to 5% of net sales of licensed products, payable quarterly until the expiration of the last-to-expire licensed patent. Aggregate payments to NBG are capped at KRW 6.5 trillion (approximately $4.8 billion). As of June 30, 2025, only the first tranche of the upfront fee (KRW 1.5 billion or approximately $1.1 million) had become payable and was recorded as a current liability.

***The Oramed Note***

In September 2023, the Company issued a senior secured promissory note to Oramed in the principal amount of $101.9 million (the "Oramed Note") (see Note 7). The Company elected the fair value option to account for the Oramed Note with any changes in the fair value of the note recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, which are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the Oramed Note based on Level 3 inputs. This methodology discounts the interest and principal payments

------

using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was determined to be $18.5 million and $12.2 million, respectively, by applying a discount rate of 128.46% and 128.82%, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a loss of $3.5 million and $6.3 million in change in fair value of the Oramed Note in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively.

***Tranche B Notes***

In October 2024, the Company entered into the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement to issue and sell the Tranche B Notes in the principal amount of $50.0 million (see Note 7). The Company elected the fair value option to account for the Tranche B Notes with any changes in the fair value of such notes recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, which are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The Tranche B Notes are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The Company uses the Binomial Lattice Model valuation technique to measure the fair value of the Tranche B Notes. The fair value as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was determined to be $21.4 million and $23.6 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a loss of $4.2 million and $6.7 million, respectively, in change in fair value of the Tranche B Notes in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

***Purchased Revenue Liability***

In October 2024, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors (collectively, the "ZTlido Royalty Investors") and Oramed (see Note 7). In February 2025, the Company also entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement ("Gloperba-Elyxyb Royalty Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors (collectively, the "Gloperba-Elyxyb Royalty Investors") and Oramed (see Note 7). The Company elected the fair value option for the purchased revenue liability for both agreements with changes in fair value recorded as change in fair value of debt and liability instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, which are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company uses a Scenario-Based Method valuation technique to measure the fair value of the purchased revenue liability. The aggregate fair value of both agreements as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, was determined to be $7.6 million and $6.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded a loss of $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, in change in fair value of the purchased revenue liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations.

***Warrant Liability Measurement***

The derivative warrant liability was valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. The primary unobservable input utilized in determining the fair value of the warrant is the expected volatility of the Common Stock. The expected volatility assumption is based on the Company's historical volatility, historical volatilities of comparable companies whose share prices are publicly available as well as the implied volatility of the Public Warrants (as defined below), described in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

A summary of the inputs used in valuing the derivative warrant liabilities as of June 30, 2025 is as follows:

***Contingent Consideration Related to SP-104 Acquisition***

The Development Milestone Payment related to the SP-104 Assets represents an obligation to potentially settle a fixed value in a variable number of shares of Common Stock and requires remeasurement at fair value through settlement.

Upon the achievement of FDA approval for a new drug application for SP-104, the Company will transfer $3.0 million in cash or shares of Common Stock to Aardvark, at the discretion of the Company. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the Development Milestone Payment was estimated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow method. Significant unobservable inputs assumptions included the likelihood of receiving FDA approval for SP-104, expected timing for receipt of FDA approval for SP-104, and a discount rate of 9.4%. As of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Development Milestone Payment was $0.2 million.

**5. Balance Sheet Components**

***Investments***

*Convertible Promissory Note*

On August 9, 2024, Denali Capital Acquisition Corp. ("Denali") issued a convertible promissory note (the "Convertible Promissory Note") in the total principal amount of up to $180,000 to the Company. The Convertible Promissory Note was issued with an initial principal balance of $15,063.74, with the remaining $164,936.26 drawable at Denali's request and upon the consent of the Company prior to the maturity of the Convertible Promissory Note. The Convertible Promissory Note matures upon the earlier of (i) the effective date of the consummation of Denali's initial business combination or (ii) the date of the liquidation of Denali. Any future drawdowns of the remaining $164,936.26 principal amount available under the Convertible Promissory Note are expected to fund future one-month extensions as necessary to provide additional time for Denali to complete a business combination. At the option of the Company, upon consummation of an initial business combination, the Convertible Promissory Note may be converted in whole or in part into additional Class A ordinary shares of Denali, at a conversion price of $10.00 per ordinary share (the "Conversion Shares"). The terms of the Conversion Shares will be identical to those of the private placement shares that were issued to Denali Capital Global Investments, LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the "Sponsor"), in connection with Denali's initial public offering (the "IPO"). In the event that Denali does not consummate an initial business combination, the Convertible Promissory Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the trust account established in connection with the IPO or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. No interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Convertible Promissory Note. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of the Convertible Promissory Note was $123.1 thousand and $75.3 thousand, respectively, as a result of additional draws after the initial amount.

*Semnur Business Combination Agreement and Sponsor Interest Purchase Agreement*

On August 30, 2024, Semnur entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as may be amended or restated from time to time in accordance with its terms, including by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of April 16, 2025 ("Amendment No.1"), the "Semnur Business Combination Agreement") with Denali and Denali Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Denali ("Denali Merger Sub"). On July 22, 2025, Semnur entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Semnur Business Combination Agreement with Denali and Denali Merger Sub ("Amendment No. 2"). See Note 13 for the additional discussion of Amendment No. 2.

The Semnur Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things, (i) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Denali Merger Sub will merge with and into Semnur, with Semnur surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Denali (the "Semnur Business Combination"), and (ii) prior to the closing of the Semnur Business Combination, Denali will migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the "DGCL"), and de-register in the Cayman Islands in accordance with Section 206 of the Cayman Companies Act (the "Domestication"). Upon the closing of the Semnur Business Combination, it is anticipated that Denali will change its name to "Semnur Pharmaceuticals, Inc." ("New Semnur"). Shares of Denali common stock following the Domestication are hereinafter referred to as "New Semnur Common Shares". Shares of Denali Series A preferred stock following the Domestication are hereinafter referred to as "New Semnur Preferred Shares". Warrants to purchase New Semnur Common Shares following the Domestication are hereinafter referred to as "New Semnur Warrants".

------

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Semnur Business Combination Agreement, following the Domestication and at the effective time of the Semnur Business Combination (the "Effective Time"): (i) each share of Semnur Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, a number of New Semnur Common Shares equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Semnur Business Combination Agreement); (ii) each share of Series A preferred stock of Semnur issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest, (a) one New Semnur Preferred Share and (b) one-tenth of one New Semnur Common Share, and (iii) subject to Denali's receipt of the Option Exchange Approval (as defined in the Semnur Business Combination Agreement), each option to purchase a share of Semnur Common Stock that is then outstanding shall be converted into the right to receive an option to purchase a number of New Semnur Common Shares as determined by the Exchange Ratio upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the exercise price thereof adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1, among other things, the parties agreed to (i) modify certain covenants of the parties to address the potential delisting of the Denali ordinary shares and warrants from the Nasdaq Capital Market, (ii) extend the Outside Date (as defined in Amendment No. 1) to September 30, 2025, and (iii) require Denali to amend its organizational documents to extend the period of time within which Denali can complete a business combination to December 11, 2025, or such other date that is mutually agreed to by Semnur and Denali.

The Company defers specific incremental costs directly attributable to the Semnur Business Combination, such as legal, accounting and other general and administrative costs. After the consummation of the Semnur Business Combination, these costs will be classified in stockholders' deficit as a reduction of additional paid-in capital recorded as a result of the Semnur Business Combination. In the event the Semnur Business Combination Agreement is terminated, all deferred offering costs will be reclassified to general and administrative expenses in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, deferred offering costs related to the Semnur Business Combination totaled $8.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively, and were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In connection with the execution and delivery of the Semnur Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor and the Company entered into a Sponsor Interest Purchase Agreement (the "SIPA") dated August 30, 2024 (the "Signing Date"). Pursuant to the SIPA, the Company agreed to purchase 500,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of Denali (the "Purchased Interests") that are currently held by the Sponsor. The aggregate consideration for the purchase and sale of the Purchased Interests is as follows: (i) $2,000,000 (the "Cash Consideration") and (ii) 8,571 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the SIPA, the Company has paid the Cash Consideration on the Signing Date and has agreed to issue Common Stock to the Sponsor contingent upon and following the occurrence of the Effective Time. The Company accounted for this promise to issue shares at a future date as an equity classified instrument as it is indexed to the Company's own stock and meets the conditions to be classified in equity under FASB ASC 815, *Derivatives and Hedging*. The Purchased Interests will convert automatically, on a one-for-one basis, into one New Semnur Common Share at the effective time of the Domestication pursuant to the terms of the Semnur Business Combination Agreement. The Company determined it does not have significant influence over Denali and accounted for the Purchased Interests as equity securities at the transaction price, which consists of the $2,000,000 paid by the Company to the Sponsor and the value of the 8,571 shares of the Common Stock at the closing price of $40.25 per share on the Signing Date for a total of $2.3 million. The Company elected to subsequently measure the investment at cost less any impairment. As of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's investment in the Purchased Interests had a balance of $2.3 million. No impairment loss was recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

**7. Debt**

***The Oramed Note***

On September 21, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Oramed (the "Scilex-Oramed SPA"), pursuant to which the Company issued the Oramed Note. The Oramed Note, which has a principal amount of $101.9 million, was to mature on March 21, 2025. It is payable in six principal installments, with the first installment of $5.0 million payable on December 21, 2023, the second installment in the principal amount of $15.0 million payable on March 21, 2024, the next three installments each in the principal amount of $20.0 million payable on each of June 21, 2024, September 21, 2024 and December 21, 2024 and the last installment in the entire remaining principal balance of the Oramed Note payable on March 21, 2025. Interest under the Oramed Note accrues at a fluctuating per annum interest rate equal to the sum of (1) the greater of (x) 4% and (y) Term SOFR (as defined in the Oramed Note) and (2) 8.5%, payable in-kind on a monthly basis. Pursuant to the Oramed Note, since the outstanding principal of the Oramed Note was not repaid in full on or prior to March 21, 2024, an exit fee of approximately $3.1 million has been earned with respect to the Oramed Note, which shall be due and payable on the date on which the outstanding principal amount of the Oramed Note is paid in full. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Oramed Note, holders of more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Oramed Notes may elect to accrue interest at a default rate equal to the lesser of (i) Term SOFR plus 15% or (ii) the maximum rate permitted under applicable law. Voluntary prepayments made before the one-year anniversary of the closing date of the Scilex-Oramed SPA must include a make-whole amount equal to 50% of the additional interest that would accrue on the principal amount so prepaid from the date of such prepayment through and including the maturity date. If the Oramed Note is accelerated upon an event of default, repayment is required at a mandatory default rate of 125% of the principal amount (together with 100% of accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due in respect of the Oramed Note). The Oramed Note contains mandatory prepayment provisions requiring use of 70% of net cash proceeds from any Cash Sweep Financing (as defined in the Oramed Note) or advances under the ELOCs (as defined in the Oramed Note) to prepay the outstanding principal after the earlier of April 1, 2024 or full repayment of Acceptable Indebtedness (as defined in the Oramed Note). Following each of the April 2024 RDO (as defined below and as described under Note 9), the receipt of the FSF Deposit (as described below) and the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company made a mandatory prepayment of $9,578,835, $7,000,000 and $1,760,796, respectively, to Oramed, which equals 70% of the net cash proceeds the Company received from each of the April 2024 RDO, the FSF Deposit and the sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement. Given such payment was not a voluntary prepayment, such prepayment did not trigger the make-whole amount under the Oramed Note.

The Oramed Note contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Company and its subsidiaries, which restrict, among other things, the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring indebtedness or liens, amending charter and organizational documents, repaying or repurchasing stock, repaying, repurchasing, or acquiring indebtedness, paying or declaring cash dividends, assigning, selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of assets, making or holding investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, and entering into settlement agreements, in each case as more fully set forth in, and subject to certain qualifications and exceptions set forth in the Oramed Note.

In connection with the Oramed Note, the Company and each of its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Guarantors") entered into a security agreement (the "Security Agreement") with Oramed (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the "Holder") and the Agent, which acts as the collateral agent for the holders of the Oramed Note. Under this

------

agreement, the Company and the Guarantors granted to the Agent (on behalf of and for the benefit of the holders of the Oramed Note and any Additional Notes as defined thereunder) a security interest in all or substantially all of the properties of the Company and each of the Guarantors. This was done to ensure the timely payment, performance, and full discharge of all obligations under the Oramed Note. The Security Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants regarding the collateral thereunder, all of which are detailed in the Security Agreement.

On September 20, 2024, the Company and Oramed entered into a Letter Agreement (the "Oramed Letter Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay to Oramed $2,000,000 (the "Specified September Payment") on September 23, 2024, which payment was applied as follows: (i) $1,700,000 was applied to the amortization payment due under the Oramed Note on the March 21, 2025 (the "Maturity Date") and (y) $300,000 to purchase an aggregate of 4,000,000 SPAC Warrants (as defined below, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 114,286 shares of Common Stock) owned by Oramed.

The parties further agreed, upon receipt of the Specified September Payment by Oramed, (i) that notwithstanding the minimum Liquidity (as defined in the Oramed Note) requirements set forth in Section 7(b)(x) of the Oramed Note, the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Oramed Note) shall be required to maintain the following minimum liquidity during the specified time periods instead: from and after September 19, 2024 until the Maturity Date, $0, and (ii) to extend the due date of the $20,000,000 amortization payment from September 23, 2024 to September 30, 2024. Oramed further agreed to extend such due date to October 8, 2024, on which date a consent and amendment letter was signed with Oramed under which: (i) the Company made a payment of $12,500,000 to Oramed in lieu of the payment due on September 23, 2024, using the proceeds from the issuance of the Tranche B Notes, and (ii) the remaining payments under the Oramed Note were amended as follows: installment payment of $15,000,000 payable on December 21, 2024, which payment was made on December 13, 2024, and the remaining principal balance, accrued interest and fees payable on the Maturity Date. On January 21, 2025, the Company and Oramed agreed to extend the Maturity Date under and as set forth in the Oramed Note from March 21, 2025 to December 31, 2025. In consideration of such extension, SCLX JV agreed to deliver to Oramed an aggregate of 92,857 shares of Common Stock held by SCLX JV, with a fair value of $1.4 million on the date of delivery, which was recorded as financing costs within the selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

At issuance, the Company concluded that certain features of the Oramed Note would be considered derivatives that would require bifurcation. In lieu of bifurcating such features, the Company has elected the fair value option for this financial instrument and records the changes in the fair value within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations at the end of each reporting period. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Oramed Note was $18.5 million and $12.2 million, respectively, which is classified as debt, current in the consolidated balance sheets.

The following table provides a summary of the changes in the balance and the estimated fair value of the Oramed Note (in thousands):

***Tranche B Notes***

On October 7, 2024, the Company entered into the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement with the Tranche B Investors and Oramed to refinance a portion of the Oramed Note and pay off certain other indebtedness of the Company. Pursuant to the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered offering by the Company directly to the Tranche B Noteholders: (i) the Tranche B Notes, which notes will mature on the two-year anniversary of the issuance date and will be convertible into shares of Common Stock at a current conversion price equal to $36.40 per share and (ii) warrants (the "October 2024 Noteholder Warrants") to purchase up to 214,284 shares of Common Stock directly to the Tranche B Noteholders.

------

In exchange for the issuance of the Tranche B Notes to the Tranche B Investors, the Company has received an aggregate amount of $22,500,000 in cash, excluding fees and expenses payable by the Company. In consideration for the Tranche B Notes issued to Oramed, the Company has received from Oramed an exchange and reduction of the principal balance under the Oramed Note of $22,500,000.

The October 2024 Noteholder Warrants are immediately exercisable for cash at a current exercise price equal to $36.40 per share and will expire five years from the issuance date. The October 2024 Noteholder Warrants issued to the Tranche B Investors are initially exercisable for 107,142 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. The October 2024 Noteholder Warrants issued to Oramed are initially exercisable for 107,142 shares of Common Stock.

In connection with the offering of the Tranche B Notes, the Company issued to StockBlock Securities LLC ("StockBlock") and its affiliate, Rodman & Renshaw LLC (together, the "October 2024 Placement Agents") or their respective designees, (i) 62,794 shares of Common Stock (the "October 2024 Placement Agent Shares") and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 104,848 shares of Common Stock (the "October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants"). The October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants will have the same terms as the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants, except that the October 2024 Placement Agents have agreed not to exercise the October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants for a period of 180 days following the date of issuance.

In conjunction with the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement for $5.0 million of the aggregate purchase price for the ZTlido Purchased Receivables (as defined below) in full consideration for the sale, transfer, conveyance and granting of the ZTlido Purchased Receivables, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement. The $50.0 million of total proceeds received were allocated based on their relative fair value to the Tranche B Notes, the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants, and the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement, with the excess of fair value over the proceeds received in amount of $2.6 million recognized as a loss upon issuance within the change in fair value of debt and liability instruments in the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Pursuant to the Tranche B Notes, commencing on January 2, 2025, the Company was required to redeem in cash (the "First Amortization Payment") such portion of the principal amount of the Tranche B Notes equal to each Tranche B Noteholder's Holder Pro Rata Amount (as defined in the Tranche B Notes) of $6,250,000 per fiscal quarter at a redemption price equal to 100% of such Amortization Amount (as defined in the Tranche B Notes).

***ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement***

On October 8, 2024, in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company and Scilex Pharma entered into the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement with the ZTlido Royalty Purchasers. Pursuant to the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement, Scilex Pharma sold to the ZTlido Royalty Purchasers the right to receive 8% of all aggregate net sales worldwide (the "ZTlido Purchased Receivables") with respect to ZTlido, SP-103 and any related, improved, successor, replacement or varying dosage forms of the foregoing, which shall be paid within 60 calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter.

In full consideration for the sale, transfer, conveyance and granting of the ZTlido Purchased Receivables, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement, the aggregate purchase price for the ZTlido Purchased Receivables was $5.0 million (net of expenses of the ZTlido Royalty Purchasers). The ZTlido Royalty Investors paid to Scilex Pharma an aggregate amount equal to $2.5 million minus the expenses of the ZTlido Royalty Investors and Oramed paid to Scilex Pharma an amount equal to $2.5 million minus Oramed's expenses (the amount so paid by the ZTlido Royalty Purchasers, collectively, the "ZTlido RPA Closing Payment"). Oramed's portion of the purchase price was paid by exchanging a portion of the outstanding principal balance under the Oramed Note equivalent to its portion of the ZTlido RPA Closing Payment, which amount extinguished and reduced $2.5 million of the outstanding balance under the Oramed Note.

The ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement terminates six months following receipt by the ZTlido RPA Purchasers of all payments of the ZTlido Purchased Receivables to which each ZTlido RPA Purchaser is entitled during the period commencing on the closing date of the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement and expiring on the tenth anniversary of such closing date.

The Company elected the fair value option for the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement and records the changes in the fair value within the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations at the end of each reporting period. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement was $7.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively, recorded as a purchased revenue liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company incurred $0.2 million of issuance costs in connection with the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement, which were included in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**8. Sorrento Stock Purchase Agreement**

*Sorrento Stock Purchase Agreement*

On September 21, 2023, the Company entered into that certain Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Sorrento SPA") with Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. ("Sorrento"), the Company's then-controlling stockholder, pursuant to which the Company purchased from Sorrento (i) 1,716,245 shares of Common Stock, (ii) 29,057,097 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and (iii) 1,386,617 Public Warrants (as defined below), which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 39,617 shares of Common Stock and 3,104,000 Private Warrants (collectively, the "Purchased Securities"), which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 88,685 shares of Common Stock. As a result, Sorrento no longer holds a majority of the voting power of the Company's outstanding capital stock entitled to vote. On the same day, the Company and Oramed entered into the Scilex-Oramed SPA. The Company concluded that the Sorrento SPA and the Scilex-Oramed SPA were entered in contemplation of each other and the issuance of the Oramed Note was accounted as part of the consideration payable for the Purchased Securities acquired from Sorrento.

Pursuant to the terms of the Scilex-Oramed SPA, the Company issued the Oramed Note (see Note 7), which replaced Sorrento's outstanding obligations to Oramed, warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Closing Penny Warrant") with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and restrictions on exercisability, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Subsequent Penny Warrants" and together with the Closing Penny Warrant, the "Penny Warrants"), each with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and each with restrictions on exercisability. Additionally, the Company agreed to transfer to Oramed 4,000,000 SPAC Warrants (as defined below, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 114,286 shares of Common Stock), which were acquired by the Company under the Sorrento SPA. There was no change in the terms for the warrants transferred to Oramed as a result of the transactions described above. The remaining consideration for the Purchased Securities was comprised of a credit bid for all amounts of principal and accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under the agreement that the Company entered into in July 2023, to provide Sorrento with a non-amortizing super-priority junior secured term loan facility ("Junior DIP Facility") in an aggregate principal amount of $20.0 million, a $10.0 million cash payment, and the assumption and assignment of certain obligations of Sorrento for legal fees and expenses amounting to approximately $12.3 million.

------

The Company allocated the total consideration between the repurchased instruments by allocating to the repurchased Private Warrants their full value, with the remaining consideration allocated to the Common Stock, Preferred Stock, and Public Warrants (as defined below) based on their relative fair values as of September 21, 2023.

Before the closing of the Sorrento SPA transactions and in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Sorrento SPA, the Company formed two entities: (a) Scilex DRE Holdings LLC ("Holdco"), a single purpose entity that is the Company's direct wholly owned subsidiary and (b) SCLX JV, a single purpose bankruptcy-remote entity that is the Company's indirect wholly owned subsidiary, which was formed to hold the Purchased Securities. Holdco was formed to hold all of the equity interests in SCLX JV. Holdco and SCLX JV are parties to the Security Agreement and Subsidiary Guarantee (see Note 2).

*Series A Preferred Stock*

Pursuant to the terms of the Sorrento SPA, the Company repurchased all of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock. The Series A Preferred Stock is classified in permanent equity and does not have any bifurcated features. Therefore, the repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock by the Company is treated as a redemption of shares and viewed as a deemed dividend. The fair value of Series A Preferred Stock as of the repurchase date of September 21, 2023 was $52.6 million. The Company derecognized the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock, with any excess amount allocated as the reduction in additional paid-in capital. The Series A Preferred Stock is currently held as collateral for the Oramed Note.

*Treasury Stock*

The Common Stock that has been repurchased by the Company under the Sorrento SPA is not intended for constructive retirement and is being held as collateral for the Oramed Note. In accordance with treasury stock accounting guidance, the consideration allocated to Common Stock is presented under a separate caption of Treasury Stock as a reduction of equity.

*Penny Warrants*

The exercise price of the Penny Warrants is $0.01 per share, subject to adjustments provided therein. The exercise price and number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Penny Warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction, as described in the Penny Warrants; provided that there shall not be any adjustment to the exercise price of the Penny Warrants in the event the Company combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) its Common Stock into a smaller number of shares. Oramed may exercise the Penny Warrants by means of a "cashless exercise." The Closing Penny Warrant and the Subsequent Penny Warrants utilize the same form of warrant.

The Penny Warrants may not be exercised if Oramed, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 9.9% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise (the "Oramed Beneficial Ownership Limitation"); provided, however, that upon 61 days' prior notice to the Company, Oramed may increase or decrease the Oramed Beneficial Ownership Limitation.

The Company accounted for the Penny Warrants as an equity classified instrument as they are indexed to the Company's own stock and meet the conditions to be classified in equity under FASB ASC 815, *Derivatives and Hedging,* including sufficient available shares of Common Stock for the Company to settle the exercise of the warrants in shares of Common Stock. The Penny Warrants are recognized in additional paid-in capital in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of Penny Warrants as of September 21, 2023, the date of issuance, was $10.4 million.

As of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 6,500,000 Penny Warrants outstanding that were fully vested and such warrants became exercisable on March 14, 2025.

On July 22, 2025, the Company entered into the Option Agreement (as defined below) with Oramed, pursuant to which it has the option to repurchase the Penny Warrants. See Note 13 for the additional discussion of the Option Agreement and the Warrant Repurchase (as defined below).

------

*Excise Tax*

In December 2022, the Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS") issued guidelines on the implementation of the new code section added by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which imposes a 1% excise tax on the total fair market value of stock repurchases during the tax year, subject to adjustments. Pursuant to the terms of the Sorrento SPA, the Company repurchased the Purchased Securities from Sorrento. The total fair market value of the Purchased Securities was offset by the fair market value of the shares issued during the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company has accrued $1.3 million of the excise tax liability during the year ended December 31, 2023, which was recorded as accrued expenses under current liabilities on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company made a total of $0.7 million payments for the excise tax. As of June 30, 2025, the remaining balance of the excise tax liability recorded as accrued expenses was $0.2 million.

**9. Stockholders' Deficit**

***SPAC Warrants*** 

Upon the completion of the Business Combination, the Company assumed the Private Warrants and the public warrants to purchase Common Stock, each with an exercise price of $402.50 per whole share (the "Public Warrants", and together with the Private Warrants, the "SPAC Warrants").

Holders of the SPAC Warrants are entitled to acquire shares of Common Stock. The SPAC Warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

If the reported last sale price of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $630.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders, the Company may redeem all the Public Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon not less than 30 days' prior written notice.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, the Company will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a cashless basis. The Company will not be required to net cash settle the SPAC Warrants.

The Public Warrants are equity-classified warrants and recognized in additional paid-in capital in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Private Warrants are liability-classified warrants and are recognized as liabilities (refer to Notes 1 and 4).

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the SPAC Warrants held by Sorrento were repurchased, and certain of such warrants transferred to Oramed, as a result of the Sorrento SPA (refer to Note 8). On September 20, 2024, the Company repurchased 4,000,000 of the SPAC Warrants (which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 114,286 shares of Common Stock) held by Oramed (refer to Note 7). Following the repurchase, these warrants were cancelled.

As of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 5,467,692 Public Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 156,220 shares of Common Stock are outstanding.

As of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 1,000,000 Private Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 28,572 shares of Common Stock are outstanding.

*Series A Preferred Stock*

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 29,057,097 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. On September 21, 2023, the Series A Preferred Stock was repurchased and derecognized for accounting purposes. The Series A Preferred Stock is currently held as collateral for the Oramed Note.

*Series 1 Preferred Stock*

On October 27, 2024, the Board declared a stock dividend (the "Dividend") consisting of an aggregate of 5,000,000 shares (the "Dividend Stock") of Series 1 Mandatory Exchangeable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the "Series 1 Preferred Stock") to record holders of certain of the Company's securities as of the close of business on November 7, 2024 (which date was subsequently changed to such later date to be determined in the sole discretion of the Board) (such later record date as so determined by the Board, the "Record Date"). Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series 1 Mandatory Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation") filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 28, 2024, the Series 1 Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Common Stock but junior to all other series of Preferred Stock with respect to distributions of assets upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the affairs of the Company. The holders of Series 1 Preferred Stock may become entitled to a pro rata portion of the number of shares that represents the lesser of (a) 10% of the shares of the Semnur Common Stock (or such other securities into which or for which such stock may be exchanged or converted), held by the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined below) (taking into account any adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction) and (b) that number of shares of Semnur Common Stock (or such other securities into which or for which such stock may be exchanged or converted) equal to $200,000,000 divided by the closing price of such Semnur Common Stock (or such other securities into which or for which such stock may be exchanged or converted) on any national securities exchange on which such shares are listed on the date that is 10 trading days prior to the Determination Date (as defined below), which shares shall be paid from the shares of Semnur Common Stock (or such other securities into which or for which such stock may be exchanged or converted) held by the Company as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (taking into account any adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction). Furthermore, the holders of Series 1 Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends and shall not have any voting rights by virtue of their ownership of any shares of Series 1 Preferred Stock.

For purposes of the Certificate of Designation, (a) "Effective Time" means the effective time of the Semnur Business Combination as determined under the terms of the Semnur Business Combination Agreement, (b) "Determination Date" means, if the Semnur Common Stock (or such other securities into which or for which such stock may be exchanged or converted) is listed for, and trading on, any national securities exchange, the date that is 15 trading days following the Registration Date, (c) "Registration Date" means the earlier of (i) the Effective Time, at which time the shares of Semnur Common Stock (or such other securities into which or for which such stock has been exchanged or converted) are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") and (ii) the time at which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and (d) "Registration Statement" means a registration statement, whether under the Exchange Act, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), that is filed by Semnur or any successor thereto or affiliate thereof with respect to the registration of the Semnur Common Stock or any securities into which or for which such stock may be exchanged or converted. The Board has the right to change the Record Date and the right to revoke the Dividend at any time prior to the payment date therefor. There can be no assurance that the Board will not revoke the Dividend or that, even if such Dividend is paid, the conditions for the mandatory exchange set forth in the Certificate of Designations will ever occur (including that the Registration Date shall have occurred on or before 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on October 28, 2025).

The Series 1 Preferred Stock does not have any bifurcated features and is classified in equity at par value because the Company had an accumulated deficit position as of Dividend Stock declaration date. As of June 30, 2025 and as of the date of this filing, none of the Dividend Stock or any shares of the Series 1 Preferred Stock were issued or distributed.

The issuance costs allocated to the equity component are recorded as the reduction of the offering proceeds and the amounts allocated to the liability component are expensed as incurred within the selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of StockBlock Warrants as of the date of issuance was $1.3 million. On December 26, 2024, the December 2024 RDO Pre-Funded Warrants were exercised by the holder for total net proceeds of approximately $0.2 million.

As of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 57,512,958 December 2024 RDO Common Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 1,642,871 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 4,601,036 StockBlock Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 131,472 shares of Common Stock outstanding.

**10. Stock Incentive and Employee Benefit Plan**

***2017 Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc. Equity Incentive Plan***

In June 2017, the Board adopted the Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc. Equity Incentive Plan (the "Scilex Pharma 2017 Plan"). In connection with the corporate reorganization in March 2019, the Scilex Pharma 2017 Plan was terminated. Accordingly, after such time, no additional awards were granted under the Scilex Pharma 2017 Plan. However, the 2017 Stock Option Plan will continue to govern outstanding awards granted thereunder.

***Scilex Holding Company 2019 Stock Option Plan***

In May 2019, the Board adopted the Scilex Holding Company 2019 Stock Option Plan (the "2019 Stock Option Plan"), which subsequently was amended in December 2020. The 2019 Stock Option Plan was terminated at the closing of the Business Combination, and no further awards have been granted under the 2019 Stock Option Plan thereafter. However, the 2019 Stock Option Plan will continue to govern outstanding awards granted thereunder.

------

***Scilex Holding Company 2022 Equity Incentive Plan***

In October 2022, the Board adopted the Scilex Holding Company 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan"). As of June 30, 2025, a total of 716,085 shares of Common Stock were available and have been reserved for future issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan.

***Scilex Holding Company 2023 Inducement Plan***

On January 17, 2023, the compensation committee of the Board adopted the Scilex Holding Company 2023 Inducement Plan (the "Inducement Plan"). The Inducement Plan provides for the grant of equity-based awards in the form of non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other awards solely to prospective employees of the Company or an affiliate of the Company provided that certain criteria are met. The initial maximum number of shares available for grant under the Inducement Plan is 40,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for recapitalizations, stock splits, reorganizations and similar transactions). No awards were granted under the Inducement Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

As of June 30, 2025, options to purchase 1,009,938 shares of Common Stock were outstanding under all equity incentive plans.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2025 (in thousands, except for per share amounts and contractual life):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Options** | **Weighted-Average Exercise Price** | **Weighted-Average <br>Remaining Contractual Life,<br>in years** | **Aggregate Intrinsic Value** |
| Outstanding as of December 31, 2024 | 1028 | $138.23 | 6.4 | $— |
| Granted | 1 | $4.70 |  |  |
| Forfeited/Cancelled | (19) | $93.38 |  |  |
| Outstanding as of June 30, 2025 | 1010 | $138.98 | 5.8 | $1 |
| Vested and expected to vest as of June 30, 2025 | 1010 | $138.98 | 5.8 | $1 |
| Exercisable as of June 30, 2025 | 788 | $121.00 | 5.2 | $— |

---

Intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying options and the fair value of the Common Stock for the options that had exercise prices that were lower than the per share fair value of the Common Stock as of the measurement date of the intrinsic value. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was $3.76 per share. No options were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The maximum term of options granted under each of the equity incentive plans is ten years.

Total stock-based compensation recorded within operating expenses was $3.3 million and $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively and $6.6 million and $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The total unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested employee and non-employee stock option grants as of June 30, 2025 were $20.7 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.

***Scilex Holding Company 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan***

In October 2022, the Board adopted the Scilex Holding Company 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP"). The purchase price of the Common Stock is equal to 85% of the lesser of the market value of such shares at the beginning of an offering period or the date of purchase. As of June 30, 2025, the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the ESPP shall not exceed 170,573, which was increased from 127,902 shares as a result of automatic annual increase on January 1, 2025.

------

Total stock-based compensation recorded as operating expense for the ESPP was $26.6 thousand and $76.8 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively and $63.7 thousand and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively.

As of June 30, 2025, there were 4,072 shares of Common Stock issued under the ESPP.

***Valuation Assumptions***

The Company calculates the fair value of stock options granted to employees and nonemployees and shares issued under ESPP using the Black-Scholes option pricing method. The Black-Scholes option pricing method requires the use of subjective assumptions.

The following assumptions were used in the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate stock-based compensation on the date of grant for stock options:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | **Six Months Ended<br>June 30, 2025** |
| Stock options: |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected dividend yield | 0.00% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected volatility | 96.30% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk-free interest rate | 4.17% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Term of options (in years) | 6.25 |
| Employee stock purchase plan: |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected dividend yield | 0.00% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected volatility | 112.87% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Risk-free interest rate | 4.31% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Expected life (in years) | 0.49 |

***Semnur 2024 Stock Option Plan*** 

Concurrent with the signing of the Semnur Business Combination Agreement, the Board, the Company (as the sole stockholder of Semnur) and the board of directors of Semnur approved the 2024 Stock Option Plan (the "Semnur 2024 Plan"). Under the Semnur 2024 Plan, 40,000,000 shares of Semnur Common Stock were reserved for future issuance and Nonstatutory Stock Options ("NSOs") to purchase the same amount of Semnur Common Stock were granted to certain executive officers of Semnur. The NSOs were granted on August 30, 2024 and expire on August 30, 2034. No expense was recorded in connection with the NSOs as of June 30, 2025, as until the date on which all payments and all obligations under the Oramed Note have been paid in full in cash, such options will not be or become exercisable, eligible for exchange, redemption or repurchase, eligible to participate in any dividends or distributions or have any voting rights in respect of the Company or any of its current or future subsidiaries of the Company, and following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Semnur Business Combination Agreement, the Company, Denali or any of their respective current and future subsidiaries, successors and assigns.

***Employee Benefit Plan***

The Company maintains a defined contribution 401(k) plan available to eligible employees. Employee contributions are voluntary and are determined on an individual basis, limited to the maximum amount allowable under federal tax regulations. The Company made matching contributions to the 401(k) plan totaling $0.1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $0.3 million and $0.2 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

***Retainer Shares*** 

On February 13, 2023, the Company entered into a Stock Issuance Agreement (the "2023 SIA") with a law firm for the provision of legal services to the Company. Under the 2023 SIA, the Company issued 114,286 shares of Common Stock to the law firm. On July 1, 2024, the Company entered into another Stock Issuance Agreement (the "2024 SIA") with the same law firm for the provision of legal services to the Company. Under the 2024 SIA, the Company issued 285,714 shares of Common Stock to the same law firm. All such shares are held by the law firm as collateral for current and future outstanding legal fees due from the Company (the "Retainer Shares"). At the option of the law firm,

------

the Retainer Shares may be sold and the net proceeds may be applied against the outstanding legal fees. The Retainer Shares not applied against the outstanding legal fees due will be returned to the Company. As of June 30, 2025, it was not probable that any of the Retainer Shares would be applied against any outstanding legal fees.

**11. Commitments and Contingencies**

***Product Development Agreement***

In February 2013, Scilex Pharma became a party to a product development agreement (as amended, the "Product Development Agreement") with Itochu and Oishi (together, the "Developers"), pursuant to which the Developers will manufacture and supply lidocaine tape products, including ZTlido and SP-103 (the "Products"), for Scilex Pharma. The Developers initially developed and have intellectual property rights relating to the Products. Pursuant to the Product Development Agreement, Scilex Pharma acquired an exclusive right to develop and commercialize the Products worldwide except for Japan. The Developers are responsible for sourcing and supplying lidocaine for development and commercialization purposes.

Pursuant to the Product Development Agreement, Scilex Pharma is required to make aggregate royalty payments between 25% and 35% to the Developers based on net profits. Scilex Pharma made royalty payments in the amount of $0.6 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $1.9 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, Scilex Pharma had ending balances of accrued royalty payables of $4.5 million and $4.0 million, respectively. Total royalty expense recorded within cost of revenue was $1.6 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2.3 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Net profits are defined as net sales, less cost of goods and marketing expenses. Net sales are defined as total gross sales of any Product, less all applicable deductions, to the extent accrued, paid or allowed in the ordinary course of business with respect to the sale of such Product, and to the extent that they are in accordance with GAAP. If Scilex Pharma were to sublicense the licensed technologies, the Developers will receive the same proportion of any sublicensing fees received therefrom. The Product Development Agreement will continue in full force and effect until October 2, 2028, the date that is ten years from the date of the first commercial sale of ZTlido. The Product Development Agreement will renew automatically for subsequent successive one-year renewal periods unless Scilex Pharma or the Developers terminate it upon six-months' written notice.

On February 16, 2017, Scilex Pharma entered into a Commercial Supply Agreement (as amended, the "Supply Agreement") with the Developers to provide commercial supply of ZTlido and SP-103 to Scilex Pharma. The Supply Agreement contains standard terms regarding term, termination, payment, product quality and supply. In addition, the agreement provides additional terms regarding the calculation and amount of marketing expenses that may be deducted from net sales for purposes of determining the amount of net profit under the Product Development Agreement.

***Sales Operations Services***

In November 2014, Scilex Pharma entered into a project agreement with a vendor, pursuant to which the vendor has agreed to perform certain services in accordance with written work orders, which was subsequently superseded by a new project agreement entered into in May 2025 (the "Project Agreement"). In connection with the detailing services, the Project Agreement provides that the vendor will provide Scilex Pharma with full-time sales representatives who shall detail the Product by making calls pursuant to a call plan on targets. In connection with the sales operation services, the vendor will provide certain services required for the initial implementation and ongoing operation of the sales force.

------

In May 2025, Scilex Pharma and the vendor entered into a work order in which the parties agreed to convert substantially all of the sales representatives allocated under the Project Agreement to become employees of the vendor. The work order shall be in effect and remain in effect until the thirty-six months anniversary of the Deployment Date, as set forth in accordance with the terms of the Project Agreement, which is June 3, 2025, or until terminated in accordance with the terms of the Project Agreement or unless extended as provided therein (the "Term"). The Term may be extended for additional periods of one (1) year (each, an "Additional Term") upon the mutual written agreement of the parties not less than sixty (60) days before the end of the Term or any Additional Term. Scilex Pharma paid a one-time implementation fee of $72 thousands associated with the operational setup and the recruiting of the sales representatives and will pay fixed monthly fee of $1.2 million for year one and $1.3 million for each of year two and year three.

Pursuant to the terms set forth in the Project Agreement, either party may terminate this work order without cause upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party; provided, however, that such termination by Scilex Pharma may not occur prior to the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Deployment Date.

***Litigation***

From time to time, the Company may be subject to claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company evaluates each matter and assesses its potential financial exposure. If the potential loss from a legal proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, the Company records an accrual for the estimated loss. Because the outcome of legal proceedings is inherently uncertain, significant judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of a loss and whether the amount is reasonably estimable. The Company's assessments and any recorded accruals are based on information available at the time of evaluation. As additional information becomes available, the Company re-evaluates its estimates and may adjust recorded liabilities accordingly.

*Former Employee Action*

On March 12, 2021, Scilex Pharma and Sorrento (the "Plaintiffs") filed an action (the "Former Employee Action") in the Delaware Court of Chancery against the former President of Scilex Pharma, Anthony Mack, and Virpax Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Virpax", and together with Mr. Mack, the "Defendants"), a company founded and then headed by Mr. Mack, alleging, among other things, breach by Mr. Mack of a restrictive covenant agreement with Sorrento related to his sale of his Scilex Pharma stock to Sorrento, tortious interference with that agreement by Virpax, breach of Mr. Mack's fiduciary duties to Scilex Pharma, aiding and abetting of that breach by Virpax, and misappropriation of Scilex Pharma's trade secrets by Mr. Mack and Virpax. Such lawsuit sought, among other relief, damages and various forms of injunctive relief. The case was tried from September 12, 2022 to September 14, 2022. On September 1, 2023, the court found in favor of the Plaintiffs on all but three counts deemed to have been waived. In its 95-page opinion, the court instructed the parties to submit supplemental briefing on the appropriate remedy to implement its rulings. On October 18, 2023, the Plaintiffs submitted a supplemental brief on remedies. On November 29, 2023, Defendants submitted a supplemental brief on remedies. On December 21, 2023, the Plaintiffs submitted a supplemental reply brief on remedies. On February 26, 2024, we and Virpax entered into a term sheet regarding a mutual release and settlement agreement, pursuant to which the parties have agreed to resolve the ongoing disputes. On February 29, 2024, we and Virpax entered into a definitive settlement agreement, which provides for, among other things, that Virpax would be obligated to make the following payments to us to settle the Former Employee Action: (i) $3.5 million (the "Initial Payment") by two business days after the Effective Date (as defined therein), which payment has been made; (ii) $2.5 million by July 1, 2024, which payment has been made on July 8, 2024 and (iii) to the extent any of the following drug candidates are ever sold, royalty payments of (a) 6% of annual Net Sales (as defined therein) of Epoladerm; (b) 6% of annual Net Sales of Probudur and (c) 6% of annual Net Sales of Envelta during the Royalty Term (as defined therein). We and Virpax provided mutual releases of all claims that existed as of the Effective Date, whether known or unknown, arising from any allegations set forth in the Former Employee Action. Plaintiffs' release relates to claims against Virpax only, which does not affect our claims against Mr. Mack. Plaintiffs have not released Mr. Mack, and litigation against him remains ongoing. The Court requested further briefing on the remedies solely as to the remaining defendant, Mr. Mack. The parties filed further briefing and then presented oral argument on November 15, 2024. The Court's issued its decision on damages as to Mr. Mack on July 31, 2025, crediting Mr. Mack for settlement amounts previously paid to Plaintiffs by Virpax, on the count for which Mr. Mack was found liable, and assessing costs against Mr. Mack for one-third of Plaintiffs' attorneys fees. The parties are awaiting the entry of final judgment.

*ZTlido Patent Litigation*

On June 22, 2022, the Company filed a complaint against Aveva Drug Delivery Systems, Inc. ("Aveva"), Apotex Corp., and Apotex, Inc. (together, "Apotex") in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (the "ZTlido Patent Litigation") alleging infringement of certain Orange Book listed patents covering ZTlido (the "ZTlido Patents"). The ZTlido Patent Litigation was initiated following the submission by Apotex, in accordance with the procedures set out in the Hatch-Waxman Act, of an abbreviated new drug application ("ANDA"). Apotex's ANDA seeks approval to market a generic version of ZTlido prior to the expiration of the ZTlido Patents and alleges that the ZTlido Patents are invalid, unenforceable, and/or not infringed. The Company is seeking, among other relief, an order that the effective date of any FDA approval of Apotex's ANDA be no earlier than the expiration of the asserted patents listed in the Orange Book, the latest of which expires on May 10, 2031, and such further and other relief as the court may deem appropriate. Apotex and Aveva were subject to an automatic 30-month stay preventing them from selling a generic version of ZTlido during that time, which was extinguished by the U.S. District Court decision described below. However, to our knowledge, Aveva has not received FDA approval for any generic version of ZTlido. The two Apotex entities were dismissed from the litigation without prejudice, as they no longer had an interest in the generic product that Aveva seeks to market. Before trial, Aveva dropped its challenge to the validity and enforceability of the Company's patents. Trial in the ZTlido Patent Litigation was held from July 8, 2024 to July 11, 2024. Final post-trial briefing was submitted by the parties on July 25, 2024, and the case was submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. On August 26, 2024, that court issued a decision finding that Aveva's product does not infringe the Company's ZTlido Patents. The Company is appealing that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and it filed a Notice of Appeal with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on September 25, 2024. Briefing has been completed in that appeal. The parties are awaiting the Federal Circuit's scheduling of oral argument.

*Former Employees Litigation*

On November 3, 2023, four former employees of the Company filed a complaint in California Superior Court in San Diego County, consisting of claims for back compensation that they allege were promised but not paid to them. The Company investigated those claims, conducted and responded to discovery, and vigorously contested this lawsuit. The parties concluded a settlement of all claims on June 2, 2025, the terms of which are confidential.

***Operating Leases***

The Company leases administrative and research and development facilities under various non-cancelable lease agreements. Facility leases generally provide for periodic rent increases and may include options to extend. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 2.3 years. The terms of the Company's leases, ranging from 3 to 5 years, include extension options that are not reasonably certain to be exercised. Many of the Company's leases are subject to variable lease payments. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligations for those payments are incurred, are not included in the measurement of the right-of-use ("ROU") assets or lease liabilities, and are immaterial.

As the Company's leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company calculates the associated lease liability and corresponding ROU asset upon lease commencement using a discount rate based on a credit-adjusted secured borrowing rate commensurate with the term of the lease. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has no finance leases.

Lease expense was $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and $0.5 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and was primarily comprised of operating lease costs. The lease expense included variable lease costs and sublease income, which were immaterial for the periods presented.

**12. Net Loss Per Share**

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands except per share data):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Three Months Ended June 30,** | **Six Months Ended June 30,** | **Six Months Ended June 30,** |
|  | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net loss attributable to Scilex Holding Company | $(42308) | $(37582) | $(68388) | $(61959) |
| Deemed dividend for anti-dilution adjustments to Penny Warrants upon Reverse Stock Split | (43753) |  | (43753) |  |
| Net loss for basic and diluted loss per share attributable to common stockholders | $(86061) | $(37582) | $(112141) | $(61959) |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding | 5095 | 3232 | 5080 | 3014 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Weighted average common stock warrants exercisable for nominal consideration | 6500 | 1669 | 6500 | 985 |
| Weighted average number of shares, basic and diluted | 11595 | 4901 | 11580 | 3999 |
| Loss per share |  |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Basic and diluted | $(7.42) | $(7.67) | $(9.68) | $(15.49) |

---

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of Common Stock and, if dilutive, potential Common Stock outstanding during the period. Potential Common Stock consists of the incremental Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method or the reverse treasury stock method, as applicable).

In the computation of net loss per share, treasury shares are not included as part of the outstanding shares.

In accordance with FASB ASC 260, *Earnings Per Share,* Penny Warrants are warrants that would be exercised for no or little consideration and therefore should be included in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income (loss) per share. The Closing Penny Warrants become exercisable upon the passage of time and are included in basic and diluted net income (loss) per share from the closing date of September 21, 2023. The Subsequent Penny Warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,500,000 shares of Common Stock are not vested as of the closing date of September 21, 2023 and the vesting is based on the passage of time, the Company's repayment of the Oramed Note or the occurrence of the Management Sale Trigger Date (as defined therein). Therefore, these Subsequent Penny Warrants are included in the computation for diluted net income per share once all other exercise contingencies are removed except for the passage of time.

------

The following potentially dilutive outstanding securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods presented:

**13. Subsequent Events**

*Equity Line of Credit*

On July 22, 2025, the Company entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Tumim Stone Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Investor").

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor up to the lesser of: (a) $100,000,000 of newly issued shares of Common Stock and (b) the Exchange Cap (as defined below), from time to time, at the Company's sole discretion (each such sale, a "VWAP Purchase") by delivering an irrevocable written notice to the Investor (each such notice, a "VWAP Purchase Notice"). The Company shall be permitted to deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor during the period commencing on the Commencement Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the date that is the first day of the month following the 24-month anniversary of the date on which the initial Registration Statement (as defined below) has been declared effective by the SEC, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, and unless the Purchase Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.

The Investor's purchases of shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, including that the Investor may not purchase shares that would result in it (together with its affiliates) owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the Investor, 9.99%) of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, unless stockholder approval of a waiver of the Exchange Cap (as defined below) is obtained, the Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby would exceed 1,390,443 (representing 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement) (such maximum number of shares, the "Exchange Cap"). However, the Exchange Cap shall not be applicable for any purposes of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, to the extent that (and only for so long as) the average price of all applicable sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $8.09, which is the Minimum Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). The Company is under no obligation to seek stockholder approval of a waiver of the Exchange Cap.

------

As consideration for the Investor's commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock, the Company shall issue 150,000 shares of Common Stock to the Investor as a commitment fee (the "Commitment Shares") upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined below).

In connection with the transactions contemplated by, and concurrently with the execution of, the Purchase Agreement, the Company and the Investor also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2025 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to file with the SEC one or more registration statements (each, a "Registration Statement"), to register under the Securities Act the offer and resale by the Investor of all of the shares that may be issued by the Company to the Investor from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, including the Commitment Shares. The Investor's obligation to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is subject to such a Registration Statement being filed with the SEC and declared effective.

*Warrant Exchange Agreement*

On July 22, 2025, the Company entered into Warrant Exchange Agreements (each, a "Warrant Exchange Agreement" and collectively, the "Warrant Exchange Agreements") with certain holders (the Tranche B Noteholders or the "Exchanging Warrant Holders") of the Company's existing Tranche B warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants or the "Existing Tranche B Warrants"). Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreements, the Company and the Exchanging Warrant Holders, in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, effected a voluntary securities exchange whereby the Exchanging Warrant Holders exchanged the Existing Tranche B Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of 107,142 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $36.40 per share, originally issued pursuant to the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement, for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "New Warrants") at an exercise price of $40.00 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The New Warrants shall be immediately exercisable, but may only be exercised on a cash basis on or after the earlier of (i) the date that is 90 days following the Closing Date (as defined in the Warrant Exchange Agreements), and (ii) the initial date after the date of the Warrant Exchange Agreements that a registration statement is effective and available for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrants to the holders of the New Warrants (or the resale of shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrants); provided, however, the New Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no registration statement to cover the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrants or the resale of such shares. The New Warrants shall have an expiration date of October 8, 2029.

The terms of the New Warrants are generally identical to the terms of the Existing Tranche B Warrants, other than with respect to the number of shares issuable upon exercise thereof and the Exercise Price and certain other matters. The Exercise Price of the New Warrants is subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar event. The Exercise Price is also subject to full-ratchet adjustment (down to the Exercise Price Floor (as defined below)) in connection with a subsequent offering at a per share price less than the exercise price then in effect. The New Warrants also permit a voluntary adjustment to the Exercise Price, subject to certain conditions set forth therein, including compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules and having obtained the prior written consent of the required holders as described therein. The Exercise Price cannot be lower than $36.40 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events, the "Exercise Price Floor"), unless shareholder approval is obtained to allow the New Warrants to be exercised at a price lower than the Exercise Price Floor in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The Company is under no obligation to seek or obtain such shareholder approval.

*Oramed Warrant Repurchase*

As previously disclosed by the Company, on September 21, 2023, the Company issued the Penny Warrants to Oramed.

On July 22, 2025, the Company entered into an Option Agreement for the Repurchase of Warrants with Oramed (the "Option Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, Oramed granted an option (the "Option") to the Company to repurchase the Penny Warrants in two tranches (the "Warrant Repurchase") for an aggregate purchase price of $27,000,000 (the "Warrant Repurchase Amount"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. In consideration of the Option, the Company agreed to pay $1,500,000 (the "Option Payment Amount") to Oramed in two equal installments occurring on or before August 8, 2025 and December 16, 2025, respectively. Provided that the Company has made the applicable option payment on or before such dates, the Company shall be entitled to purchase

------

the Penny Warrants as follows: (i) on or before September 30, 2025, it may repurchase 3,130,000 Penny Warrants for $13,000,000; and (ii) on or before December 31, 2025, it may repurchase 3,370,000 Penny Warrants for $14,000,000. Additionally, if the Company effects the Warrant Repurchase and has paid the Option Payment Amount and the Warrant Repurchase Amount in full, in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, then the maturity date of the Oramed Note shall be extended to March 31, 2026 and any make-whole payment due thereunder upon prepayment shall be waived.

Oramed shall have the right to terminate the Option Agreement if the Company (i) fails to make certain payments thereunder or (ii) has not exercised the Option by the applicable dates set forth therein (an "Option Termination").

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, the Company has agreed that, if the Option Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms set forth therein, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of its stockholders to permit the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Stockholder Approval Cap (as defined therein) upon exercise of any Penny Warrants retained by Oramed following such termination, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

*Amendment to Semnur Business Combination Agreement*

On July 22, 2025, Semnur entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Semnur Business Combination Agreement with Denali and Denali Merger Sub. Amendment No. 2 amends the Semnur Business Combination Agreement to, among other things, modify the definitions of the "Exchange Ratio" and "Merger Consideration" to facilitate the issuance of additional shares of common stock of Semnur prior to the closing of the Business Combination in connection with any potential private placement financing or for issuance to advisors and other service providers for services rendered and maintain the 1.25-to-1 exchange ratio.

**Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations**

*The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 31, 2025 (the "Annual Report on Form 10-K"). In addition to historical information, this discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. We discuss factors that we believe could cause or contribute to these differences below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those set forth in the sections of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements." As a result of these risks, you should not replace undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements for any reason, except as required by law.*

*On April 15, 2025, we effected a reverse stock split of our Common Stock at a ratio of 1-for-35 (the "Reverse Stock Split"). Unless otherwise noted, the share and per share information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.*

**Overview**

We are an innovative revenue-generating company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-opioid management products for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. We believe that our innovative non-opioid product portfolio has the potential to provide effective pain management therapies that can have a transformative impact on patients' lives. We target indications with high unmet needs and large market opportunities with non-opioid therapies for the treatment of patients with acute and chronic pain and are dedicated to advancing and improving patient outcomes. We launched our first commercial product in October 2018, in-licensed two commercial products in 2022 and 2023, and are developing our late-stage pipeline. Our commercial product, ZTlido (lidocaine topical system) 1.8% ("ZTlido"), is a prescription lidocaine topical product approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for the relief of neuropathic pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia ("PHN"), which is a form of post-shingles nerve pain. ZTlido possesses novel delivery and adhesion technology designed to address many of the limitations of current prescription lidocaine patches by providing significantly improved adhesion and continuous pain relief throughout the 12-hour administration period. We market ZTlido through a dedicated sales force of approximately 65 people, targeting 10,000 primary care physicians, pain specialists, neurologists and palliative care physicians who we believe treat the majority of PHN patients. We in-licensed the exclusive right to commercialize GLOPERBA (colchicine USP) oral solution ("GLOPERBA"), an FDA-approved prophylactic treatment for painful gout flares in adults, in the United States ("U.S." or the "United States"). We launched GLOPERBA in June 2024 and believe we are well-positioned to market and distribute the product. In January 2025, we in-licensed the rights to commercialize GLOPERBA outside the U.S. In February 2023, we acquired the rights to patents, trademarks, regulatory approvals and other rights related to ELYXYB (celecoxib oral solution) ("ELYXYB") and its commercialization in the U.S. and Canada. In April 2023, we launched ELYXYB in the U.S. for the treatment of acute migraine, with or without aura, in adults. In January 2025, we received approval from Health Canada's Pharmaceutical Drugs Directorate, Bureau of Cardiology, Allergy and Neurological Sciences for ELYXYB for the acute treatment of migraine with or without aura in Canada.

Our development pipeline consists of three product candidates, (i) SP-102 ("SEMDEXA") (10 mg, dexamethasone sodium phosphate viscous gel), a novel, viscous gel formulation of a widely used corticosteroid for epidural injections to treat lumbosacral radicular pain or sciatica with completed Phase 3 study, (ii) SP-103 (lidocaine topical system) 5.4% ("SP-103"), a Phase 2, next-generation, triple-strength formulation of ZTlido, for the treatment of chronic neck pain associated with muscle spasms and for which we have completed a Phase 2 trial in acute low back pain ("LBP"), and (iii) SP-104 (4.5 mg, low-dose naltrexone hydrochloride delayed-release capsules) ("SP-104"), a novel low-dose delayed-release naltrexone hydrochloride formulation for treatment of fibromyalgia, for which Phase 1 trials were completed.

SEMDEXA has been granted fast track designation by the FDA and, if approved, could become the first FDA-approved alternative to off-label epidural steroid injections, which are administered over 12 million times annually in the United States. We have completed a pivotal Phase 3 study with final results received in March 2022, which results

------

reflected achievement of primary and secondary endpoints. SP-103 has also been granted fast track designation by the FDA for LBP. We received our SP-103 Phase 2 top-line results in August 2023 and the trial achieved its objectives characterizing safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of SP-103 in acute LBP associated with muscle spasms. SP-103 was safe and well tolerated. Increase of lidocaine load in topical system by three times, compared with approved ZTlido, 5.4% vs. 1.8%, did not result in signs of systemic toxicity or increased application site reactions with daily applications over one month treatment. We will continue to analyze the SP-103 Phase 2 trial data along with an investigator study of ZTlido in patients with neck pain completed in the second half of 2023, which also has shown promising top-line efficacy and safety results. SP-103, if approved, could become the first FDA-approved lidocaine topical product for the treatment of chronic neck pain associated with muscle spasms. SP-103 is a triple-strength lidocaine topical system designed to deliver a dose of lidocaine three times higher than any lidocaine topical product that we are aware of, either approved or in development. We are examining SP-103 as a treatment for chronic neck pain associated with muscle spasms, a condition with high unmet need which we expect could affect over 20 million patients in the United States as of 2023. On October 20, 2024, we announced the successful end of a Phase 2 meeting with the FDA and leading to an agreed path forward to a new drug application ("NDA") for our product candidate, SP-103.

We currently contract with third parties for the manufacture, assembly, testing, packaging, storage and distribution of our products. We obtain our commercial supply of certain of our products, the clinical supply of our product candidates and certain of the raw materials used in our product candidates from sole or single source suppliers and manufacturers. Prior to April 2022, we relied on a single third-party logistics distribution provider, Cardinal Health 105, for ZTlido distribution in the United States. Cardinal Health 105 purchased and shipped ZTlido to customer wholesale distribution centers. Cardinal Health 105 also performed order management services on our behalf. On April 2, 2022, we announced the expansion of our direct distribution network to national and regional wholesalers and pharmacies. Cardinal Health 105 will continue to provide traditional third-party logistics functions for us.

Since our inception, we have invested substantial efforts and financial resources into acquiring product and technology rights while building our intellectual property portfolio and infrastructure. In June 2022, we in-licensed the exclusive right to commercialize GLOPERBA oral solution, an FDA-approved prophylactic treatment for painful gout flares in adults, in the U.S. In February 2023, we acquired rights to FDA-approved ELYXYB in the U.S. and Canada for the acute treatment of migraine. We intend to continue to explore and evaluate additional opportunities such as these to grow our business. We have incurred significant operating losses as a result of such investment efforts, including the development of SEMDEXA, conducting of Phase 3 trials for SEMDEXA, and the development of SP-103 and SP-104. Our ability to generate sufficient revenue to achieve profitability will depend on the successful commercialization of our products, ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB, and the development of our product candidates. We had a net loss of $44.0 million and $37.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and a net loss of $70.1 million and $62.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of June 30, 2025, we had an accumulated deficit of $631.4 million. As of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.1 million. Our management has concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. See Note 2 titled "*Liquidity and Going Concern*" to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

We expect to continue to make investments in our sales and marketing organization and expand digital marketing efforts to broaden awareness of ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB and in research and development, clinical trials and regulatory affairs to develop our product candidates, SEMDEXA, SP-103 and SP-104. As a result, we will need substantial additional funding to support our continuing operations and pursue our growth strategy. Until we can generate significant revenue, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, government contracts or other strategic transactions. We may be unable to raise additional funds or enter into such agreements or arrangements when needed on favorable terms, or at all. If adequate funds on acceptable terms are not available when needed, we may be required to reduce the scope of the commercialization of ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB or delay, scale back or discontinue the development of one or more of our product candidates.

**Recent Developments**

***Equity Line of Credit***

On July 22, 2025, we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with Tumim Stone Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Investor").

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we have the right, but not the obligation, to sell to the Investor up to the lesser of: (a) $100,000,000 of newly issued shares of Common Stock and (b) the Exchange Cap (as defined below), from time to time, at our sole discretion (each such sale, a "VWAP Purchase") by delivering an irrevocable written notice to the Investor (each such notice, a "VWAP Purchase Notice"). We shall be permitted to deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice to the Investor during the period commencing on the Commencement Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and the date that is the first day of the month following the 24-month anniversary of the date on which the initial Registration Statement (as defined below) has been declared effective by the SEC, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, and unless the Purchase Agreement is earlier terminated in accordance with its terms.

The Investor's purchases of shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement, if any, will be subject to certain limitations, including that the Investor may not purchase shares that would result in it (together with its affiliates) owning more than 4.99% (or, at the election of the Investor, 9.99%) of the then-issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. In addition, unless stockholder approval of a waiver of the Exchange Cap (as defined below) is obtained, we shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby would exceed 1,390,443 (representing 19.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the execution of the Purchase Agreement) (such maximum number of shares, the "Exchange Cap"). However, the Exchange Cap shall not be applicable for any purposes of the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, to the extent that (and only for so long as) the average price of all applicable sales of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement equals or exceeds $8.09, which is the Minimum Price (as defined in the Purchase Agreement). We are under no obligation to seek stockholder approval of a waiver of the Exchange Cap.

As consideration for the Investor's commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock, we shall issue 150,000 shares of Common Stock to the Investor as a commitment fee (the "Commitment Shares") upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined below).

In connection with the transactions contemplated by, and concurrently with the execution of, the Purchase Agreement, we and the Investor also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2025 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), pursuant to which we agreed to file with the SEC one or more registration statements (each, a "Registration Statement"), to register under the Securities Act the offer and resale by the Investor of all of the shares that may be issued by us to the Investor from time to time under the Purchase Agreement, including the Commitment Shares. The Investor's obligation to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is subject to such a Registration Statement being filed with the SEC and declared effective.

***Warrant Exchange Agreement***

On July 22, 2025, we entered into Warrant Exchange Agreements (each, a "Warrant Exchange Agreement" and collectively, the "Warrant Exchange Agreements") with certain holders (the Tranche B Noteholders or the "Exchanging Warrant Holders") of our existing Tranche B warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants or the "Existing Tranche B Warrants"). Pursuant to the Warrant Exchange Agreements, we and the Exchanging Warrant Holders, in reliance on Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, effected a voluntary securities exchange whereby the Exchanging Warrant Holders exchanged the Existing Tranche B Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of 107,142 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $36.40 per share, originally issued pursuant to the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement, for warrants to purchase an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock (the "New Warrants") at an exercise price of $40.00 per share (the "Exercise Price"). The New Warrants shall be immediately exercisable, but may only be exercised on a cash basis on or after the earlier of (i) the date that is 90 days following the Closing Date (as defined in the Warrant Exchange Agreements), and (ii) the initial date after the date of the Warrant Exchange Agreements that a registration statement is effective and available for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrants to the holders of the New

------

Warrants (or the resale of shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrants); provided, however, the New Warrants may only be exercised on a cashless basis if there is no registration statement to cover the issuance of the shares of Common Stock underlying the New Warrants or the resale of such shares. The New Warrants shall have an expiration date of October 8, 2029.

The terms of the New Warrants are generally identical to the terms of the Existing Tranche B Warrants, other than with respect to the number of shares issuable upon exercise thereof and the Exercise Price and certain other matters. The Exercise Price of the New Warrants is subject to adjustment for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or similar event. The Exercise Price is also subject to full-ratchet adjustment (down to the Exercise Price Floor (as defined below)) in connection with a subsequent offering at a per share price less than the exercise price then in effect. The New Warrants also permit a voluntary adjustment to the Exercise Price, subject to certain conditions set forth therein, including compliance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules and having obtained the prior written consent of the required holders as described therein. The Exercise Price cannot be lower than $36.40 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations and similar events, the "Exercise Price Floor"), unless shareholder approval is obtained to allow the New Warrants to be exercised at a price lower than the Exercise Price Floor in accordance with the Nasdaq Listing Rules. We are under no obligation to seek or obtain such shareholder approval.

***Oramed Warrant Repurchase***

As previously disclosed by us, on September 21, 2023, we issued the Penny Warrants to Oramed.

On July 22, 2025, we entered into an Option Agreement for the Repurchase of Warrants with Oramed (the "Option Agreement"), pursuant to which, among other things, Oramed granted an option (the "Option") to us to repurchase the Penny Warrants in two tranches (the "Warrant Repurchase") for an aggregate purchase price of $27,000,000 (the "Warrant Repurchase Amount"), subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein. In consideration of the Option, we agreed to pay $1,500,000 (the "Option Payment Amount") to Oramed in two equal installments occurring on or before August 8, 2025 and December 16, 2025, respectively. Provided that we have made the applicable option payment on or before such dates, we shall be entitled to purchase the Penny Warrants as follows: (i) on or before September 30, 2025, we may repurchase 3,130,000 Penny Warrants for $13,000,000; and (ii) on or before December 31, 2025, we may repurchase 3,370,000 Penny Warrants for $14,000,000. Additionally, if we effect the Warrant Repurchase and has paid the Option Payment Amount and the Warrant Repurchase Amount in full, in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, then the maturity date of the Oramed Note shall be extended to March 31, 2026 and any make-whole payment due thereunder upon prepayment shall be waived.

Oramed shall have the right to terminate the Option Agreement if we (i) fail to make certain payments thereunder or (ii) have not exercised the Option by the applicable dates set forth therein (an "Option Termination").

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, we have agreed that, if the Option Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms set forth therein, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of our stockholders to permit the issuance of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Stockholder Approval Cap (as defined therein) upon exercise of any Penny Warrants retained by Oramed following such termination, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein.

***Amendment to Semnur Business Combination Agreement***

On July 22, 2025, Semnur entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Semnur Business Combination Agreement with Denali and Denali Merger Sub ("Amendment No. 2"). Amendment No. 2 amends the Semnur Business Combination Agreement to, among other things, modify the definitions of the "Exchange Ratio" and "Merger Consideration" to facilitate the issuance of additional shares of common stock of Semnur prior to the closing of the Business Combination in connection with any potential private placement financing or for issuance to advisors and other service providers for services rendered and maintain the 1.25-to-1 exchange ratio.

------

**Components of Our Results of Operations**

***Net Revenue***

Net revenue consists of product sales of ZTlido, ELYXYB and GLOPERBA in the United States. For product sales of ZTlido, ELYXYB and GLOPERBA, we record gross-to-net sales adjustments for government and commercial rebates, chargebacks, wholesaler and distributor fees, sales returns, special marketing programs, and prompt payment discounts. We expect that any net revenue we generate will fluctuate from year to year as a result of the unpredictability of the demand for our product.

***Operating Costs and Expenses***

*Cost of Revenue*

Cost of revenue consists of the cost of purchasing ZTlido, ELYXYB and GLOPERBA from our manufacturing partners, inventory write-downs related to expiration dates for on-hand inventory, cost of shipments, and royalty payments to our manufacturers. We expect the cost of revenue to fluctuate with related sales revenue.

*Research and Development*

Research and development expenses are expensed when incurred and consist primarily of costs incurred for our research activities, including the development of our product candidates, and include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•costs related to clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•salaries, benefits and other related costs, including stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in research and development functions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•costs related to outside consultants.

We expect our research and development expenses to increase, as we will incur incremental expenses associated with our product candidates that are currently under development and in clinical trials. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials. Accordingly, we expect to incur significant research and development expenses in connection with our clinical trials for SEMDEXA, SP-103 and SP-104.

*Selling, General and Administrative*

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs related to our contract sales force, salaries and other related costs, including stock-based compensation, for personnel in our executive, marketing, finance, corporate and business development and administrative functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include professional fees for legal, patent, accounting, auditing, tax and consulting services, travel expenses and facility-related expenses, which include direct depreciation costs.

We expect that our selling, general and administrative expenses will vary year-over-year in the future as we adapt our commercial strategies to changes in the business environment. We also expect to incur increased expenses as a result of operating as a public company, including expenses related to compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, listing standards applicable to companies listed on a national securities exchange, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities and other administrative and professional services. We also expect to adjust the size of our administrative, finance and legal functions to adapt to the changes above and the anticipated growth of our business.

*Intangible Amortization*

Intangible amortization expense consists of the amortization expense of intangible assets recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our intangible assets, excluding goodwill, are composed of patent rights, acquired technology, acquired licenses and assembled workforce.

------

*Legal Settlements*

Legal settlements consist of gains on litigation settlements that were entered into during the first quarter of 2024. See Note 11 titled "*Commitments and Contingencies*" to our consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Other Expense, Net***

*Loss on Derivative Liability*

Loss on derivative liability includes the remeasurement of the warrant derivative liability. See Note 4 titled *"Fair Value Measurements"* to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

*Change in Fair Value of Debt and Liability Instruments*

Change in fair value of debt and liability instruments includes the remeasurement of (i) the convertible debentures (the "Convertible Debentures") issued to YA II, Ltd. ("Yorkville") pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement dated as of March 21, 2023 and amended on October 11, 2023, between Yorkville and us, (ii) the senior secured promissory note to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Oramed") issued in September 2023 in the principal amount of $101.9 million (the "Oramed Note"), (iii) senior secured convertible notes issued in October 2024 in the principal amount of $50.0 million (the "Tranche B Notes"), (iv) the purchased revenue liability associated with the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement") that we entered into in October 2024 with certain institutional investors (collectively, the "ZTlido Royalty Investors") and Oramed and (v) the purchased revenue liability associated with the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Gloperba-Elyxyb Royalty Purchase Agreement") that the we entered into in February 2025 with certain institutional investors (collectively, the "Gloperba-Elyxyb Royalty Investors") and Oramed. See Note 4 titled *"Fair Value Measurements"* to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

*Interest Expense, Net*

Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2025 consists of interest on the balances due for government and commercial rebate programs and interest related to the deferred consideration for GLOPERBA license acquired from RxOmeg Therapeutics, LLC (a/k/a Romeg Therapeutics, Inc.) ("Romeg") in 2022. Government rebate programs include state Medicaid drug rebate programs and commercial rebate programs relate to contractual agreements with commercial healthcare providers, under which we pay rebates for access to and position on that provider's patient drug formulary. Interest expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2024 consists of interest related to the loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million (the "Revolving Facility") made available by eCapital Healthcare Corp. pursuant to a Credit and Security Agreement (the "eCapital Credit Agreement") that Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary ("Scilex Pharma"), entered into on June 27, 2023.

*(Gain) Loss on Foreign Currency Exchange*

(Gain) Loss on foreign currency exchange relates to foreign exchange (gain) loss on payments made to our foreign supplier, Itochu Chemical Frontier Corporation ("Itochu"), a manufacturer and supplier of lidocaine tape products, including ZTlido and SP-103.

In February 2023, we entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire the rights to certain patents, trademarks, regulatory approvals, data, contracts, and other rights related to ELYXYB and its commercialization in the United States and Canada (the "ELYXYB Territory"). We are obligated to make quarterly royalty payments on net sales of ELYXYB in the ELYXYB Territory that range from high single digits to low double digits on net sales based on the volume of sales. In April 2023, we launched ELYXYB in the U.S. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we made royalty payments in the amount of $70.9 thousand and $4.3 thousand, respectively.

On December 22, 2023, we entered into a Sales Agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement") with B. Riley Securities, Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the "Sales Agents"), which agreement was voluntarily terminated by us effective as of March 5, 2025. Pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, we were able to offer and sell (the "Offering") shares of Common Stock up to $170,000,000 (the "ATM Shares"), through or to the Sales Agents as part of the Offering. We had no obligation to sell any shares of Common Stock under the ATM Sales Agreement and may suspend offers at any time. The ATM Shares offered and sold in the Offering were issued pursuant to our Shelf S-3 Registration Statement. The ATM Shares were offered by means of a prospectus forming a part of the Shelf S-3 Registration Statement.

*February 2024 Bought Deal Offering*

On February 29, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the "February 2024 BDO Underwriting Agreement") with Rodman & Renshaw LLC and StockBlock Securities LLC ("StockBlock"), as the representatives (the "February 2024 BDO Representatives") of the underwriters named in Schedule A (the "February 2024 BDO Underwriters"). Pursuant to the February 2024 BDO Underwriting Agreement, we sold, in an underwritten offering (the "February 2024 BDO"), 168,068 shares (the "February 2024 BDO Firm Shares") of the Common Stock, and accompanying common warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 168,068 shares of Common Stock (the "February 2024 BDO Firm Warrants"). Each February 2024 BDO Firm Share was sold together with a February 2024 BDO Firm Warrant at a combined public offering price of $59.50. The combined price per Firm Share and accompanying February 2024 BDO Firm Warrant paid by the February 2024 BDO Underwriters was $54.74, which amount reflects the combined public offering price of $59.50, less underwriting discounts and commissions.

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the February 2024 BDO Common Warrants are exercisable immediately, will expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $59.50 per share. The exercise price of the February 2024 BDO Common Warrants is subject to certain adjustments, including (but not limited to) stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Common Stock.

In connection with the February 2024 BDO, pursuant to the February 2024 BDO Underwriting Agreement, we issued the February 2024 BDO Representatives warrants (the "February 2024 BDO Representative Warrants", and together with the February 2024 BDO Common Warrants, the "February 2024 BDO Warrants") to purchase up to an aggregate of 13,446 shares of Common Stock (which represents 8.0% of the aggregate number of February 2024 BDO Firm Shares sold in the February 2024 BDO). The February 2024 BDO Representative Warrants are immediately exercisable and have the same terms as the February 2024 BDO Common Warrants described above, except that the exercise price of the February 2024 BDO Representative Warrants is $74.38 per share, which represents 125% of the combined public offering price per February 2024 BDO Firm Share and accompanying February 2024 BDO Firm Warrant. We also agreed to pay certain expenses of the February 2024 BDO Representatives in connection with the February 2024 BDO, including their legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses up to $200,000 and up to $15,950 for clearing expenses.

The February 2024 BDO Shares, the February 2024 BDO Warrants and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the February 2024 BDO Warrants were offered and sold by us pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (which was initially filed with the SEC on December 22, 2023, as amended, and was declared effective on January 11, 2024 (File No. 333-276245) (the "Shelf S-3 Registration Statement")), a base prospectus dated January 11, 2024 and a prospectus supplement dated February 29, 2024.

*April 2024 Registered Direct Offering*

On April 23, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "April 2024 RDO Purchase Agreement") with the investor named therein, pursuant to which we sold and issued, in a registered direct offering (the "April 2024 RDO"): (i) an aggregate of 428,572 shares (the "April 2024 RDO Shares") of Common Stock, and (ii) common warrants to purchase up to 428,572 shares of Common Stock (the "April 2024 RDO Common Warrants"). The offering price per share and accompanying April 2024 RDO Common Warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock was $35.00, for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $15,000,000, before deducting the placement agent fees and other offering expenses.

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the April 2024 RDO Common Warrants are exercisable on the six-month anniversary from the date of issuance, will expire on the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance and have an exercise price of $38.50 per share. The exercise price of the April 2024 RDO Common Warrants is subject to certain adjustments, including stock dividends, stock splits, combinations and reclassifications of the Common Stock.

StockBlock and its affiliate, Rodman & Renshaw LLC, acted as exclusive placement agents (the "April 2024 RDO Placement Agents") in connection with the April 2024 RDO. As compensation for such placement agent services, we paid the April 2024 RDO Placement Agents an aggregate cash fee equal to 8.0% of the gross proceeds actually received by us from the April 2024 RDO. We also reimbursed the April 2024 RDO Placement Agents $100,000 for actual, reasonable and documented fees and expenses, inclusive of fees and expenses of legal counsel and out-of-pocket expenses and $15,950 for clearing expenses. We also issued to the April 2024 RDO Placement Agents or their

------

respective designees common warrants, substantially in the form of the April 2024 RDO Common Warrants, to purchase up to 34,286 shares of Common Stock (the "April 2024 RDO Placement Agent Warrants"), representing up to 8.0% of the total number of the April 2024 RDO Shares issued in the April 2024 RDO. The April 2024 RDO Placement Agent Warrants have an exercise price of $43.75 per share (which represents 125% of the combined offering price per share of Common Stock and the April 2024 RDO Common Warrant sold in the April 2024 RDO), will become exercisable on the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance and expire five years from the commencement of sales in the April 2024 RDO.

The April 2024 RDO Shares, the April 2024 RDO Warrants, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants were offered and sold by us pursuant to the Shelf S-3 Registration Statement, a base prospectus dated January 11, 2024 and a prospectus supplement dated April 23, 2024. The April 2024 RDO closed on April 25, 2024.

*Tranche B Notes*

On October 7, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain institutional investors (collectively, the "Tranche B Investors") and Oramed (together with the Tranche B Investors, the "Tranche B Noteholders"), to refinance a portion of the Oramed Note and pay off certain other indebtedness. Pursuant to the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement, we agreed to issue and sell, in a registered offering directly to the Tranche B Noteholders: (i) the Tranche B Notes, which notes will mature on the two-year anniversary of the issuance date and will be convertible into shares of our Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $38.15 per share (which was automatically reduced to $36.40 per share of Common Stock subsequent to the December 2024 RDO (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of such notes) and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 214,284 shares of our Common Stock (the "October 2024 Noteholder Warrants") directly to the Tranche B Noteholders.

In exchange for the issuance of the Tranche B Notes to the Tranche B Investors, we received an aggregate amount of $22,500,000 in cash, excluding fees and expenses payable by us. In consideration for the Tranche B Notes issued to Oramed, we received from Oramed an exchange and reduction of the principal balance under the Oramed Note of $22,500,000.

The October 2024 Noteholder Warrants were immediately exercisable for cash at an exercise price equal to $38.15 per share of Common Stock (which was automatically reduced to $36.40 per share of Common Stock subsequent to the December 2024 RDO (as defined below) in accordance with the terms of such warrants) and will expire five years from the issuance date. The October 2024 Noteholder Warrants issued to the Tranche B Investors are exercisable for 107,142 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate. The October 2024 Noteholder Warrants issued to Oramed are exercisable for 107,142 shares of Common Stock.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement, we also agreed to reimburse the Tranche B Investors for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by it or its affiliates in connection with the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement, the Tranche B Notes, the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants, the ZTlido Royalty Purchase Agreement and certain other transaction documents, and an aggregate amount of $950,000 non-accountable legal fees of outside counsel and special finance and collateral counsel, which shall be withheld by the Tranche B Investors from its purchase price at the closing of the transaction, less $20,000 previously paid by us. We shall also be responsible for the payment of a $2,000,000 fee to the placement agent in addition to the payment of any placement agent's reasonable fees, financial advisory fees relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement. In addition, in conjunction with and pursuant to the letter agreement we entered into with Oramed, dated as of October 2, 2024 (the "Tranche B Letter Agreement"), we are also responsible for the payment of legal fees of outside counsel for Oramed relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated thereby and the payment date extensions described under the Tranche B Letter Agreement. We shall also be responsible for the payment of any fees of the placement agent and the legal fees incurred thereby relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the offering of the Tranche B Notes, we issued to StockBlock and its affiliate, Rodman & Renshaw LLC (the "October 2024 Placement Agents") or their respective designees, (i) 62,794 shares of Common Stock (the "October 2024 Placement Agent Shares") and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 104,848 shares of Common Stock (the "October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants"). The October 2024 Placement Agent Shares were subject to a 120-day lock-up, which is now expired. In addition, during such 120-day period, the October 2024 Placement Agents (whether

------

directly or indirectly through their respective affiliates) were prohibited from hedging, pledging or similar transactions and from short-selling our securities, subject to certain exceptions. The October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants have the same terms as the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants, except that the October 2024 Placement Agents agreed not to exercise the October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants for a period of 180 days following the date of issuance, which is now expired.

Pursuant to the Tranche B Notes, commencing on January 2, 2025, we were required to redeem in cash (the "First Amortization Payment") such portion of the principal amount of the Tranche B Notes equal to each Tranche B Noteholder's Holder Pro Rata Amount (as defined in the Tranche B Notes) of $6,250,000 per fiscal quarter at a redemption price equal to 100% of such Amortization Amount (as defined in the Tranche B Notes).

On January 2, 2025, we entered into a deferral and consent letter with each of (i) Nomis Bay Ltd and BPY Limited (the "Nomis Bay Consent"), (ii) Oramed (the "Oramed Consent") and (iii) 3i, LP (the "3i Consent" and, collectively with the Nomis Bay Consent and the Oramed Consent, the "Tranche B Consents"), respectively, pursuant to which the Tranche B Noteholders agreed to defer our obligation to make the First Amortization Payment until January 31, 2025 and then further to October 8, 2026. In consideration of such deferral, (i) SCLX JV delivered to the Tranche B Noteholders an aggregate of 142,855 shares of Common Stock held by SCLX JV, (ii) we paid an aggregate of $1.1 million in respect of a portion of the First Amortization Payment and related make-whole interest, and (iii) we entered into the Gloperba-Elyxyb Royalty Purchase Agreement.

*December 2024 Registered Direct Offering*

On December 11, 2024, we entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "December 2024 RDO Purchase Agreement") with the investors named therein, pursuant to which we agreed to sell and issue, in a registered direct offering (the "December 2024 RDO"): (i) an aggregate of 753,009 shares of Common Stock, (ii) pre-funded warrants to purchase up to 68,604 shares of Common Stock (the "December 2024 RDO Pre-Funded Warrants") and (iii) common warrants to purchase up to 1,642,871 shares of Common Stock (the "December 2024 RDO Common Warrants" and collectively with the December 2024 RDO Pre-Funded Warrants and the warrants issued to StockBlock pursuant to certain contractual obligations between us and StockBlock (the "StockBlock Warrants"), the "December 2024 RDO Warrants"). The combined offering price (a) per share of Common Stock and accompanying December 2024 RDO Common Warrants was $20.65 and (b) per Pre-Funded Warrant and accompanying December 2024 RDO Common Warrants was $20.6499. We received approximately $17.0 million in gross proceeds from the December 2024 RDO, before deducting offering fees and expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from the December 2024 RDO for working capital and general corporate purposes, which may include capital expenditures, commercialization expenditures, research and development expenditures, regulatory affairs expenditures, clinical trial expenditures, acquisitions of new technologies and investments, business combinations and the repayment, refinancing, redemption or repurchase of indebtedness or capital stock.

***Future Liquidity Needs***

We have based our anticipated operating capital requirements on assumptions that may prove to be incorrect and we may use all our available capital resources sooner than we expect. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, some of which are outside of our control, including but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs and expenses associated with our ongoing commercialization efforts for ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the degree of success we experience in commercializing ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the revenue generated by sales of ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB and other products that may be approved, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the scope, progress, results and costs of conducting studies and clinical trials for our product candidates, SEMDEXA, SP-103 and SP-104;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of manufacturing ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB and our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the timing and amount of any milestone, royalty or other payments we are required to make pursuant to any current or future collaboration or license agreements;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to maintain existing, and establish new, strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of any such agreements, including the timing and amount of any future milestone, royalty or other payments due under any such agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the extent to which ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB or any of our product candidates, if approved for commercialization, is adopted by the physician community;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our need to expand our research and development activities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of acquiring, licensing or investing in businesses, product candidates and technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the effect of competing products and product candidates and other market developments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the number and types of future products we develop and commercialize;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•any product liability or other lawsuits related to our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the expenses needed to attract, hire and retain skilled personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs associated with being a public company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs related to servicing of our debt; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the extent and scope of our general and administrative expenses.

Should our sales of ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB and other product candidates not materialize at the anticipated rate contemplated in our business plan, we will need to raise additional capital in order to continue to fund our research and development, including our plans for clinical and preclinical trials and new product development, as well as to fund operations generally. We will seek to raise additional funds through various potential sources, such as equity and debt financings and license agreements.

In addition to the liquidity provided by revenue generating products and the issuance of the Common Stock under the February 2024 BDO Underwriting Agreement, the April 2024 RDO Purchase Agreement, the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement and the December 2024 RDO Purchase Agreement, as of June 30, 2025, we would receive up to an aggregate of approximately $74.4 million from the exercise of the private placement warrants we assumed from Vickers in November 2022 in connection with the Business Combination (the "Private Warrants") and public warrants to purchase Common Stock (the "Public Warrants", and together with the Private Warrants, the "SPAC Warrants") (at an exercise price of $402.50 per whole share of Common Stock), assuming the exercise in full of all of the SPAC Warrants for cash, but will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. However, our ability to generate proceeds will depend on the market price of our Common Stock. If the price of our Common Stock remains below $402.50 per whole share, we believe warrant holders will be unlikely to cash exercise their SPAC Warrants, resulting in little or no cash proceeds to us. Similarly, to the extent any of the February 2024 Firm Warrants, February 2024 BDO Representative Warrants, April 2024 RDO Common Warrants, October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants, warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of the Common Stock pursuant to that certain Commitment Side Letter dated June 11, 2024 (the "Deposit Warrant"), October 2024 Noteholder Warrants, October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants, December 2024 RDO Common Warrants and StockBlock Warrants are exercised (and assuming that the market price of our Common Stock exceeds the exercise price of such warrants), we will receive additional proceeds.

We can give no assurances that we will be able to secure additional sources of funds to support our operations on acceptable terms, or at all, or, if such funds are available to us, that such additional financing will be sufficient to meet our needs. These conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity or convertible debt securities or as we have done pursuant to the Oramed Note and the Tranche B Notes, it could result in dilution to our existing stockholders or increased fixed payment obligations. In addition, as a condition to providing additional funds to us, future investors may demand, and may be granted, rights superior to those of existing stockholders. If we incur additional indebtedness, we could become subject to covenants that would restrict our operations and potentially impair our competitiveness, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt, limitations on our ability to acquire, sell or license intellectual property rights and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. Additionally, any future collaborations we enter into with third parties may provide capital in the near term but we may have to relinquish valuable rights to ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB, or our product candidates or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us. Any of the foregoing could significantly harm our business, financial condition and results of

------

operations. If we are unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to us, we may be required to reduce the scope of the commercialization of ZTlido, GLOPERBA or ELYXYB or delay, scale back or discontinue the development of one or more of our product candidates.

We may also need to take certain other actions to allow us to maintain our projected cash and projected financial position including but not limited to, additional reductions in general and administrative costs, sales and marketing costs, suspension or winding down of clinical development programs for SP-102, SP-103 and SP-104 and other discretionary costs. Although we believe such plans, if executed and coupled with the above described sources of liquidity, should provide us with financing to meet our needs, successful completion of such plans is dependent on factors outside of our control.

We anticipate that we will continue to incur net losses into the foreseeable future as we support our clinical development to expand approved indications, continue our development of, and seek regulatory approvals for, our product candidates, and expand our corporate infrastructure. As a result, we have concluded that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. See Note 2 titled "*Liquidity and Going Concern*" to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information. Our existing cash and cash equivalents may be insufficient to enable us to fund our operating expenses, capital expenditure requirements, the repurchase of the Penny Warrants held by Oramed and to service our debt obligations (whether under the Oramed Note, the Tranche B Notes or otherwise) for at least the next 12 months. If these sources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to raise additional funds through equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, government contracts or other strategic transactions.

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash used for financing activities was approximately $6.5 million and was primarily related to $65.5 million in gross proceeds from the Revolving Facility, $25.0 million in gross proceeds from issuance of shares under the February 2024 BDO and April 2024 RDO, $10.0 million in proceeds from receiving the FSF Deposit, $0.2 million in proceeds from the Standby Equity Purchase Agreements, $0.3 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants and ESPP, offset by the $104.7 million repayment of borrowings under the Revolving Facility, Oramed Note, and Convertible Debentures, and the $2.8 million payment of transaction costs related to the February 2024 BDO and April 2024 RDO.

**Critical Accounting Estimates**

This management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments and base them on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known.

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in the section titled "*Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations*" included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, except for the accounting treatment for the joint venture as discussed in Note 1 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

**Recent Accounting Pronouncements**

See Note 1 titled "*Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation*" of the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

**Emerging Growth Company**

An "emerging growth company" as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), is eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies. As a result, changes in GAAP or their interpretation, the adoption of new guidance or the application of existing guidance to changes in Scilex's business could significantly affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, as an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements and other burdens that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include, but are not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•an exemption from compliance with the requirement to obtain an attestation and report from our auditors on the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•an exemption from compliance with any new requirements adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board requiring mandatory audit firm rotation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements in our periodic reports, proxy statements and registration statements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•exemptions from the requirements of holding non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements.

Scilex qualifies and will remain as an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the initial public offering, (b) in which Scilex has a total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which Scilex is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the common equity of Scilex that is held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which Scilex has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to "emerging growth company" have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

**Smaller Reporting Company**

Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. Scilex qualifies and will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) Scilex has annual revenue of at least $100 million and a public float that equals or exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter or (ii) Scilex has a public float that equals or exceeds $250 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter.

**Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.**

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A of the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

**Item 4. Controls and Procedures.**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures*** 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's regulations, rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal officers, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated by the SEC under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

***Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls***

Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Accordingly, our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of our control system are met. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting*** 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

**PART II—OTHER INFORMATION**

**Item 1. Legal Proceedings.**

The information set forth under the caption *"Litigation"* in Note 11 *"Commitments and Contingencies"* of the Notes accompanying the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors.**

*Investing in our Common Stock involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, you should carefully consider the risks described herein, as well as the risks and uncertainties discussed above under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements", before deciding whether to invest in our Common Stock. Our Annual Report on Form 10-K, in Part I–Item 1A, Risk Factors, describes important risk factors that could cause our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and growth prospects to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in the risk factors that appear in Part I–Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe to be immaterial may become material and adversely affect our business.*

***Risks Related to our Limited Operating History, Financial Condition and Capital Requirements***

***We have a limited operating history and have incurred significant losses since our inception. We anticipate that we will incur continued losses for the foreseeable future.*** 

We have a limited operating history. Prior to March 2019, our operations were conducted through Scilex Pharma, which was formed in September 2012 and is now our wholly owned subsidiary. In March 2019, we effected a corporate reorganization and acquired Semnur, which was formed in June 2013. Since our inception, we have focused on organizing and staffing our company, business planning, raising capital, identifying potential non-opioid pain therapy candidates, undertaking preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates and establishing research and development and manufacturing collaborations. Most of our revenue to date is attributable to sales of ZTlido, and we expect that sales of ZTlido will account for most of our revenue for at least the near term. Our relatively short operating history as a company makes any assessment of our future success and viability subject to significant uncertainty.

Investment in biopharmaceutical product development is highly speculative because it entails substantial upfront capital expenditures and significant risk that any potential product candidate will fail to demonstrate adequate effect or an acceptable safety profile, gain regulatory approval and become commercially viable. We will encounter risks and difficulties frequently experienced by early-stage biopharmaceutical companies in rapidly evolving fields, and we have not yet demonstrated an ability to overcome such risks and difficulties successfully. Our ability to execute on our business model and generate revenues depends on a number of factors including our ability to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•successfully complete ongoing clinical trials and obtain regulatory approvals for our current and future product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•identify new acquisition or in-licensing opportunities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•successfully identify new product candidates and advance those product candidates into pre-clinical studies and clinical trials;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•raise additional funds when needed and on terms acceptable to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•attract and retain experienced management and advisory teams;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•add operational, financial and management information systems and personnel, including personnel to support clinical, manufacturing and planned future commercialization efforts and operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•launch commercial sales of our product candidates, whether alone or in collaboration with others;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•initiate and continue relationships with third-party suppliers and manufacturers and have commercial quantities of product candidates manufactured at acceptable cost and quality levels and in compliance with the FDA, and other regulatory requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•set acceptable prices for product candidates and obtain coverage and adequate reimbursement from third-party payors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•achieve market acceptance of product candidates in the medical community and with third-party payors and consumers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•maintain, expand and protect our intellectual property portfolio.

If we cannot successfully execute any one of the foregoing, our business may not succeed or become profitable.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant net losses, with net losses of $72.8 million and $114.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we had

------

net losses of $70.1 million and $62.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had an accumulated deficit of $631.4 million and $563.1 million, respectively. For the foreseeable future, we expect to continue to incur significant expenses related to the commercialization of ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB and the research and development of our product candidates, SP-102 (10 mg dexamethasone sodium phosphate viscous gel) ("SEMDEXA"), SP-103 (lidocaine topical system) 5.4% ("SP-103"), and SP-104 (4.5 mg, low-dose naltrexone hydrochloride delayed-release capsules) ("SP-104"). We anticipate that our expenses will increase substantially due to any future trials related to SEMDEXA and SP-103 and initiation of the Phase 2 clinical trial for SP-104. Consequently, we expect to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable.

We are subject to risks incidental to the development of new biopharmaceutical products, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. If we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. Our failure to become and remain profitable could impair our ability to raise capital, maintain our research and development efforts, expand our business or continue our operations.

If we are unable to raise capital through a registered offering, we would be required to conduct our equity financing transactions on a private placement basis, which may be subject to pricing, size and other limitations imposed under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, or seek other sources of capital.

***The terms of the Oramed Note and the Tranche B Notes impose certain operating and financial covenants that restrict our operating and financial flexibility and any failure to comply with such covenants could result in an event of default that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.***

On September 21, 2023 (the "Oramed Closing Date"), we issued and sold to Oramed the Oramed Note pursuant to that certain securities purchase agreement we entered into with Oramed, dated as of September 21, 2023 (the "Scilex-Oramed SPA"). Interest under the Oramed Note accrues at a fluctuating per annum interest rate equal to the sum of (1) greater of (x) four percent (4%) and (y) Term SOFR (as defined in the Oramed Note) and (2) eight and one-half percent (8.5%), payable in-kind on a monthly basis.

Pursuant to the Oramed Note, since the outstanding principal of the Oramed Note was not repaid in full on or prior to March 21, 2024, an exit fee of $3,056,250 has been earned with respect to the Oramed Note, which shall be due and payable on the date the outstanding principal amount of the Oramed Note is paid in full. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Oramed Note, holders of more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Oramed Notes may elect to cause all outstanding amounts under the Oramed Note to accrue interest at a default rate equal to the lesser of (i) Term SOFR plus fifteen percent (15%) or (ii) the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.

Any voluntary prepayments of the Oramed Note occurring prior to the one-year anniversary of the Oramed Closing Date are required to be paid together with a make-whole amount equal to 50% of the amount of additional interest that would accrue on the principal amount so prepaid under the Oramed Note from the date of such prepayment through and including the maturity date. The make-whole amount was waived by Oramed for our voluntary prepayments in March 2024. If the Oramed Note is accelerated upon an event of default, we are required to repay the principal amount of the Oramed Note at a mandatory default rate of 125% of such principal amount (together with 100% of accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due in respect of the Oramed Note). The Oramed Note contains mandatory prepayment provisions requiring us and our subsidiaries to, following the earlier of (x) April 1, 2024, and (y) the date on which the Acceptable Indebtedness (as defined in the Oramed Note) is repaid in full, use 70% of the net cash proceeds of any Cash Sweep Financing (as defined in the Oramed Note) or advance under the ELOCs (as defined in the Oramed Note) to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Oramed Note (the "Mandatory Prepayment Sweep"). Following each of the April 2024 RDO, the receipt of the FSF Deposit and the ATM Sales Agreement, we made mandatory prepayments of $9,578,835, $7,000,000 and $1,760,796, respectively, to Oramed, which equals 70% of the net cash proceeds we received from each of the April 2024 RDO, the FSF Deposit and the sale of shares pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement. Given such payment was not a voluntary prepayment, such prepayment did not trigger the make-whole amount under the Oramed Note.

On October 8, 2024 (the "Issuance Date"), we issued and sold in a registered offering to certain institutional investors (collectively, the "Tranche B Investors") and Oramed (together with the Tranche B Investors, the "Tranche B Noteholders") senior secured convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 (the "Tranche B

------

Notes"), which notes are convertible into shares of Common Stock, pursuant to the Tranche B Securities Purchase Agreement. In consideration for Tranche B Notes issued to Oramed, the outstanding principal balance of the Oramed Note was reduced by $22,500,000, and additional principal payments of an aggregate amount of $15,000,000 were made in November and December 2024. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding principal amount, as well as the accrued interest and fees, of the Oramed Note was $26,518,686, with the remaining amount due on March 21, 2025, which maturity date was extended to December 31, 2025 pursuant to an amendment letter we entered into with Oramed, dated as of January 21, 2025. Additionally, if we effect the Warrant Repurchase and have paid the Option Payment Amount and the Warrant Repurchase Amount in full, in accordance with the terms of the Option Agreement, then the maturity date of the Oramed Note shall be extended to March 31, 2026 and any make-whole payment due thereunder upon prepayment shall be waived.

Unless earlier converted or redeemed, the Tranche B Notes mature on the two-year anniversary of the Issuance Date, subject to extension at the option of the holder in certain circumstances as provided therein. The Tranche B Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.5% per annum, payable in arrears on the first trading day of each calendar quarter, beginning January 2, 2025, payable, at our option, either in cash or in shares of Common Stock, subject to certain conditions.

The Oramed Note and the Tranche B Notes contain affirmative and negative covenants binding on us and our subsidiaries which restrict, among other things, us and our subsidiaries from incurring indebtedness or liens, repaying certain indebtedness, or declaring or paying any cash dividends or distribution, selling or otherwise disposing of any assets, entering into transactions with affiliates, in each case as more fully set forth in, and subject to certain qualifications, exceptions, and "baskets" set forth in the Oramed Note and the Tranche B Notes. The Oramed Note also contains covenants requiring us to maintain a segregated bank account under specific terms and conditions, for purposes of receiving the Mandatory Prepayment Sweep, requiring SCLX Stock Acquisition JV LLC, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary ("SCLX JV"), to comply with the separateness representations and covenants in its organizational documents, and requiring our subsidiary, SCLX DRE Holdings LLC, to maintain its status as a passive holding company. The Tranche B Notes also require us to, at the request of the holder, not more frequently than once per fiscal year, hire an independent, reputable investment bank to investigate whether any breach of the Tranche B Notes has occurred if an event constituting an event of default has occurred and is continuing or any holder reasonably believes that an event constituting an event of default has occurred or is continuing. In addition, the Tranche B Notes prohibit us from entering into specified fundamental transactions unless the successor entity assumes all of our obligations under the Tranche B Notes under a written agreement approved by the required holders of the Tranche B Notes before the transaction is completed. Upon consummation of specified fundamental transactions, the successor entity must confirm that upon conversion or redemption of the Tranche B Notes thereafter, shares of the successor entity will be issuable upon such conversion or redemption. The holders of the Tranche B Notes also have certain redemption rights upon a fundamental transaction constituting a change of control.

The Oramed Note and the Tranche B Notes contain certain customary events of default, including, without limitation, a cross-default to other specified indebtedness or any other indebtedness involving an obligation of a certain amount, a failure in payment of principal, as well as any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization event. The Oramed Note also contains additional events of default with respect to certain events relating to our obligations under that certain registration rights agreement, dated as of September 21, 2023, between us and Oramed and relating to (i) the warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the "Penny Warrants"), that we issued to Oramed pursuant to the Scilex-Oramed SPA (of

which 6,500,000 of such warrants remain unexercised), and/or (ii) the shares of Common Stock underlying the Penny Warrants, in each case as more fully set forth in the Oramed Note. On July 22, 2025, we entered into the Option Agreement with Oramed, pursuant to which we have the option to repurchase the remaining Penny Warrants for an aggregate warrant purchase price of $27 million.

In addition, failure to comply with the covenants under the Oramed Note or Tranche B Notes could result in an event of default. The events of default under the Oramed Note include, among others, a change of control of our company and under the Tranche B Notes include, among others, any material adverse effect on our business, properties, assets, liabilities, operation, condition or prospects. Upon an event of default under the Oramed Note or the Tranche B Notes, subject to notice requirements in the case of certain events of default, all amounts outstanding under the Oramed Note may become immediately due and payable and the holders of the Tranche B Notes are entitled to certain conversion and redemption rights, respectively. We may not have sufficient funds or may be unable to arrange for additional financing to repay such indebtedness or to make any accelerated or redemption payments, and Oramed and/or the Tranche B Noteholders could seek to enforce their security interests in the collateral securing such indebtedness or

------

other remedies available to them under the Oramed Note or Tranche B Notes, respectively, or as provided by applicable law. Oramed could also seek to enforce the guaranty under the Subsidiary Guarantee entered into by us and each of our subsidiaries, dated as of September 21, 2023, to carry out our payment obligations under the Oramed Note. Any failure by us to comply with the obligations under the Oramed Note or the Tranche B Notes could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our outstanding indebtedness and any future indebtedness we may incur, combined with our other financial obligations, could increase our vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and market conditions, limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry and impose a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or better debt servicing options. If we raise additional capital through debt financing, the terms of any new debt could further restrict our ability to operate our business.

***We will require substantial additional funding, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all.*** 

Our operations have consumed substantial amounts of cash since inception. We expect to significantly increase our spending to continue our commercialization efforts for ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB, advance development of our current product candidates and launch and commercialize any product candidates for which we receive regulatory approval. Furthermore, we expect to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. We will also require additional capital to fund our other operating expenses and capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $4.1 million and we had an accumulated deficit of $631.4 million. The amount and timing of our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, some of which are outside of our control, including but not limited to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs and expenses associated with our ongoing commercialization efforts for ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the degree of success we experience in commercializing ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the revenue generated by sales of ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB and other products that may be approved, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the scope, progress, results and costs of conducting studies and clinical trials for our product candidates, SEMDEXA, SP-103 and SP-104;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of manufacturing ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB and our product candidates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the timing and amount of any milestone, royalty or other payments we are required to make pursuant to any current or future collaboration or license agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to maintain existing, and establish new, strategic collaborations, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of any such agreements, including the timing and amount of any future milestone, royalty or other payments due under any such agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the extent to which ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB or any of our product candidates, if approved for commercialization, is adopted by the physician community;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our need to expand our research and development activities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of acquiring, licensing or investing in businesses, product candidates and technologies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the effect of competing products and product candidates and other market developments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the number and types of future products we develop and commercialize;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•any product liability or other lawsuits related to our products;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the expenses needed to attract, hire and retain skilled personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs associated with being a public company;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our need to implement additional internal systems and infrastructure, including financial and reporting systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications and maintaining, enforcing and defending intellectual property-related claims;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs related to servicing of our debt;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the costs of financing additional clinical, regulatory and commercial activities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the extent and scope of our general and administrative expenses.

------

Until we are able to generate significant revenue, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through a combination of equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, government contracts or other strategic transactions. We cannot be sure that any additional funding, if needed, will be available on terms favorable to us, or at all. Any additional fundraising efforts may divert our management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect our ability to develop and commercialize our product candidates. Furthermore, any additional equity or equity-related financing may be dilutive to our stockholders, and debt or equity financing, if available, may subject us to restrictive covenants and significant interest costs. If we raise additional funds through collaborations or strategic alliances with third parties, we may have to relinquish valuable rights to our product candidates, future revenue streams, research programs or technologies, or grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to us. If we are unsuccessful in our efforts to raise additional financing on acceptable terms, we may be required to significantly reduce or cease our operations.

***Our recurring losses from operations, negative cash flows and substantial cumulative net losses raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.*** 

In Note 2 titled "*Liquidity and Going Concern*" of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we disclose that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We have negative working capital and have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows from operations and expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future. Further, we had an accumulated deficit of $631.4 million as of June 30, 2025 and approximately $563.1 million as of December 31, 2024. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Our ability to become a profitable operating company is dependent upon our ability to generate revenue and obtain financing adequate to fulfill our development and commercialization activities, and achieving a level of revenue adequate to support our cost structure. We have plans to obtain additional resources to fund our currently planned operations and expenditures through additional debt and equity financing. We will need to seek additional financing to fund our current operations, including the commercialization of ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB, as well as the development of our other material product candidates for the next 12 months. Our plans are substantially dependent upon the success of future sales of ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB, among which GLOPERBA and ELYXYB are still in the early stages of commercialization, and are dependent upon, among other things, the success of our marketing of ZTlido, GLOPERBA and ELYXYB and our ability to secure additional payor contracts with terms that are consistent with our business plan. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, our financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected and we may be unable to continue as a going concern. Future financial statements may disclose substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we seek additional financing to fund our business activities in the future and there remains substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, investors or other financing sources may be unwilling to provide additional funding to us on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

**Risks Related to our Commercial Operations and Product Development** 

***We obtain, or historically have obtained, our commercial supply of certain of our products, the clinical supply of our product candidates and certain of the raw materials used in our product candidates from sole or single source suppliers and manufacturers. In the event of a loss of one of these suppliers or manufacturers, or a failure by any*** 

------

***such supplier or manufacturer to comply with FDA regulations, we may not be able to find an alternative source on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.*** 

We rely on a number of sole or single source suppliers and manufacturers, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the manufacturer and supplier for the commercial supply of ZTlido, ELYXYB and GLOPERBA;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the manufacturer and supplier for the clinical supply of SP-103;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the manufacturer and supplier for the clinical supply of SP-104;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the supplier of sodium hyaluronate, one of the excipients for SEMDEXA; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the manufacturer for the clinical supply of SEMDEXA.

Under the Product Development Agreement and the Commercial Supply Agreement, dated as of February 16, 2017, by and among Scilex Pharma, Oishi and Itochu (the "Commercial Supply Agreement"), we license the rights to ZTlido from, and rely exclusively on, Oishi and Itochu for the manufacturing and supply of ZTlido and SP-103. Oishi and Itochu have the right to terminate the Product Development Agreement and the Commercial Supply Agreement under certain circumstances, including, among other things: (1) if we are in material breach of the agreement and the breach is not curable or if the breach is curable and we fail to cure such material breach within 180 days after notice requesting to cure; (2) if, at any time during the term of the Product Development Agreement and the Commercial Supply Agreement, the market conditions are such that (a) our total net profits for ZTlido and SP-103 are equal to or less than five percent of our net sales of ZTlido and SP-103 for a period of four or more consecutive quarters, or (b) the economic viability of ZTlido and SP-103 is affected significantly as evidenced by documentation and substantial information by any external circumstances deemed detrimental to all parties as agreed to by us, on the one hand, and Oishi and Itochu, on the other hand, and the parties are unable to resolve the concerns under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) after 30 days of good-faith discussion; and (3) in the event of our bankruptcy or assignment for the benefit of creditors. As of June 30, 2025, our net profits for ZTlido and SP-103 have not exceeded five percent of net sales. Accordingly, Oishi and Itochu have the right to terminate the Product Development Agreement and Commercial Supply Agreement. As of June 30, 2025, neither Oishi nor Itochu has exercised its right of termination. If the Product Development Agreement and the Commercial Supply Agreement are terminated, we would lose access to the intellectual property and proprietary manufacturing process upon which ZTlido and SP-103 depend.

We expect our third-party manufacturers and suppliers of both GLOPERBA and ELYXYB are capable of providing sufficient quantities of these products to meet anticipated commercial demands; however, if third parties with whom we currently work are unable to meet our manufacturing and supply requirements, we will need to secure alternate manufacturers and suppliers or face potential delays or shortages. While we believe that there are other contract manufacturers and suppliers with the technical capabilities to manufacture and supply these products, we cannot be certain that identifying and establishing relationships with such sources would not result in significant delay or material additional costs.

Historically, we have purchased our clinical supply requirements for sodium hyaluronate, one of the excipients for SP-102, solely from Sanofi Genzyme (formerly known as Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme")) pursuant to a supply agreement, which terminated as of May 31, 2024. We anticipate that our current supply of sodium hyaluronate will be sufficient to satisfy our current clinical supply requirements for sodium hyaluronate. Although we are currently in the process of identifying and certifying new suppliers to fulfill our future clinical and commercial supply requirements for sodium hyaluronate, we may not be able to find an alternative supplier of sodium hyaluronate on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Under that certain Master Services Agreement (as amended, "the Lifecore Master Services Agreement"), which we entered into on January 27, 2017 through our subsidiary, Semnur, with Lifecore Biomedical, LLC ("Lifecore"), we depend on Lifecore to manufacture clinical supplies of SEMDEXA. Lifecore has the right to terminate the Lifecore Master Services Agreement under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to: (1) if we are in material breach of the agreement and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of written notice; (2) if we (a) become insolvent, (b) cease to function as a going concern, (c) become convicted of or plead guilty to a charge of violating any law relating to either party's business, or (d) engage in any act which materially impairs goodwill associated with SEMDEXA or materially impairs the terminating party's trademark or trade name; (3) if we fail to pay past due invoices upon 30 days' written notice, or (4) if we reject or fail to respond to a major change proposed by Lifecore that does not change

------

Semnur's written and approved acceptance criteria in its product specifications. In the event that Lifecore decides to terminate the Lifecore Master Services Agreement, finding an alternative manufacturer on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, may be difficult. On June 6, 2023, Semnur entered into the Second Amendment to Lifecore Master Services Agreement with Lifecore, which extended the term of the agreement until December 31, 2028.

Under that certain master services agreement (the "Tulex Master Services Agreement") and the statement of work with Tulex Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("Tulex"), we depend on Tulex to develop, test and manufacture clinical supplies of SP-104. Tulex has the right to terminate the Tulex Master Services Agreement under certain circumstances, including, but not limited to: (1) if we are in material breach of the agreement or a statement of work and fail to cure such breach within 15 days after receipt of notice of such breach (or such other time period expressly stated in the applicable statement of work) or (2) in the event of our insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership, or a failure to remove any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, liquidation or receivership proceedings within ten days from the date of institution of such proceedings. In addition, we may terminate the agreement or any statement of work (a) without cause upon 30 days prior written notice to Tulex or (b) immediately upon written notice in the event Tulex is dissolved or undergoes a change in control. In the event that the Tulex Master Services Agreement or a statement of work is terminated, we may not be able to find an alternative manufacturer and supplier on commercially reasonable terms.

Additionally, the manufacturing facilities used by our third-party suppliers and manufacturers must continue to comply with FDA regulations and are subject to periodic announced or unannounced inspections. We have limited control over the ability of our third-party suppliers and manufacturers to maintain adequate quality control, quality assurance and qualified personnel. If our third-party suppliers and manufacturers fail to comply with FDA regulations, the FDA may not authorize the manufacture of our products and product candidates at these facilities, and we may be unable to find alternative manufacturing facilities in a timely manner or at all. The failure by such third parties to comply with applicable regulations could result in sanctions being imposed on us, including clinical holds, fines, injunctions, import detention, civil penalties, delays, suspension or withdrawal of approvals, seizures or recalls of our product, operating restrictions and criminal prosecutions.

In addition, our product candidates may compete with other product candidates and products for access to manufacturing facilities and other supplies. There are a limited number of manufacturers that operate under the current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP") regulations and that might be capable of manufacturing for us. Also, prior to the approval of our product candidates, we would need to identify a contract manufacturer that could produce our products at a commercial scale and that could successfully complete FDA pre-approval inspection and inspections by other health authorities. Agreements with such manufacturers or suppliers may not be available to us at the time we would need to have that capability and capacity.

If the commercial supply of our commercial products, clinical supply of our product candidates and certain of the raw materials used in our product candidates are disrupted or delayed, there can be no assurance that alternative sources can serve as adequate replacements or that supplies will be available on terms that are favorable to us, if at all. Any disruption in supply could affect the profitability of ZTlido, the commercialization of GLOPERBA and ELYXYB, and the development of SEMDEXA, SP-103 and SP-104.

**Risks Related to our Business and Operations**

***We may need to increase the size of our company and may not effectively manage our growth.*** 

As of June 30, 2025, we had 31 full-time employees, which reflects the transition of our sales force to a third-party agency (see Note 11 titled "*Commitments and Contingencies*" to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial

statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information). We may need to continue to expand our managerial, operational, sales and marketing, finance and other resources in order to manage our operations, clinical trials, research and development activities, regulatory filings, manufacturing and supply activities, and any marketing and commercialization activities, including co-promotion activities. Future growth would impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•identifying, recruiting, integrating, maintaining and motivating additional employees;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•managing our internal development efforts effectively, including the clinical, FDA and internal regulatory review process for our product candidates, while complying with our contractual obligations to contractors and other third parties; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•improving our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures.

Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth, if any, which may cause a significant strain on our management, and our operational, financial and other resources. Our ability to manage our growth effectively will require us to implement and improve our operational, financial and management systems and to expand, train, manage and motivate our employees. These demands may require the hiring of additional management personnel and the development of additional expertise by management. Any increase in resources devoted to research and product development without a corresponding increase in our operational, financial and management systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

***There is no assurance that we will complete the Semnur Business Combination with respect to the sale of our majority owned subsidiary, Semnur, and/or our SP-102 product candidate, under the terms of the Semnur Business Combination Agreement or otherwise and the failure to complete the Semnur Business Combination could adversely affect our stock price and future business and financial results.***

As previously announced, our Board authorized our management to explore ways in which to maximize the value of Semnur and SP-102 (SEMDEXA™), the product candidate held by Semnur, for us and our stockholders, including by way of conducting a spin-off, merger, dividend, reclassification or other similar transaction. On August 30, 2024, Semnur entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as may be amended or restated from time to time in accordance with its terms, including by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of April 16, 2025, and Amendment No.2 thereto, dated as of July 22, 2025, the "Semnur Business Combination Agreement") with Denali Capital Acquisition Corp. ("Denali") and Denali Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Denali ("Denali Merger Sub"), in connection with a business combination (the "Semnur Business Combination").

The consummation of the Semnur Business Combination is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of closing conditions of the respective parties. The completion of the Semnur Business Combination is not assured and is subject to risks, including, among others, the risk that approval of the Semnur Business Combination by Denali's shareholders is not obtained or that other closing conditions are not satisfied. There is also no assurance the Semnur Business Combination will actually maximize the value of Semnur and/or the SP-102 asset for us or our stockholders. In addition, we will remain liable for significant transaction costs, including legal, accounting and financial advisory fees. Furthermore, the market price of our Common Stock may reflect various market assumptions as to whether the Semnur Business Combination will occur. Consequently, the failure to complete the Semnur Business Combination could result in a significant change in the market price of our Common Stock.

***International components of our business expose us to business, legal, regulatory, political, operational, financial and economic risks associated with conducting business outside of the United States.***

We currently collaborate with international manufacturing partners and may potentially expand our business internationally in the future. The purchase and shipment of components from international sources subjects us to U.S. and foreign governmental trade, import and export, and customs regulations and laws.

Compliance with these regulations and laws is costly and exposes us to penalties for non-compliance. Other laws and regulations that can significantly impact us include various anti-bribery laws, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the "FCPA"), as well as export controls laws. Any failure to comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations could impact us in a variety of ways that include, but are not limited to, significant criminal, civil and administrative penalties, including imprisonment of individuals, fines and penalties, denial of export privileges, seizure of shipments, restrictions on certain business activities and exclusion or debarment from government contracting.

Moreover, the new administration has substantially altered prior U.S. government international trade policy and has commenced activities to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries. In addition, the new administration has initiated or is considering imposing tariffs on certain foreign goods. Related to this action, certain foreign governments, including China, have

------

instituted or are considering imposing tariffs on certain U.S. goods. It remains unclear what the new administration or foreign governments will or will not do with respect to tariffs or other international trade agreements and policies. Although the new administration has not yet implemented tariffs on pharmaceuticals, there can be no assurance that it will not implement such tariffs in the future. A trade war or other governmental action related to tariffs or international trade agreements or policies has the potential to disrupt our research activities, affect our suppliers, increase the cost of materials purchased to manufacture our products, impact our ability to sell our products outside the United States or to sell our products outside the United States at competitive prices and/or to affect the United States or global economy or certain sectors thereof and, thus, could adversely impact our business.

Conducting business internationally involves a number of risks, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•multiple, sometimes conflicting and changing laws and regulations such as tax laws, export and import restrictions, employment laws, anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws, regulatory requirements and other governmental approvals, permits and licenses;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•difficulties in enforcing our intellectual property rights and in defending against third-party threats and intellectual property enforcement actions against us, our distributors or any of our third-party suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•failure by us or our distributors to obtain appropriate licenses or regulatory approvals for the sale or use of our product candidates, if approved, in various countries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•difficulties in managing foreign operations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•cost and availability of shipping and other means of product transportation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•changes in duties and tariffs, license obligations and other non-tariff barriers to trade;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•the imposition of new trade restrictions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through certain foreign legal systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•complexities associated with managing multiple payor-reimbursement regimes or self-pay systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•natural disasters, political and economic instability, including wars, terrorism and political unrest, outbreak of disease, boycotts, curtailment of trade and other business restrictions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•failure to comply with the FCPA, including its books and records provisions and its anti-bribery provisions, and similar anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws in other jurisdictions, for example by failing to maintain accurate information and control over sales or distributors' activities.

Any of these risks, if encountered, could significantly harm our future international expansion and operations and, consequently, negatively impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.

**Risks Related to Ownership of our Common Stock**

***The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly, and investors in our Common Stock may***

***lose all or a part of their investment.***

The market prices for securities of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. For example, from November 11, 2022 (the first trading day following the closing of the Business Combination) to August 8, 2025, our closing stock price ranged from $3.99 to $518.00. The market price of our Common Stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•our ability to commercialize ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB or our product candidates, if approved;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•legal disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for ZTlido, GLOPERBA, ELYXYB or our product candidates,

------

government investigations and the results of any proceedings or lawsuits, including, but not limited to, patent or stockholder litigation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•announcements of the introduction of new products by our company and our competitors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•issuances of debt or equity securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•market conditions and trends in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•overall performance of the equity markets and other factors that may be unrelated to our operating performance or the operating performance of our competitors, including changes in market valuations of similar companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•trading volume of our Common Stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•ineffectiveness of our internal controls; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•other events or factors, many of which are beyond our control.

See the risk factor titled "*If our operations and performance do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of our securities may decline*" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for more factors affecting the trading price of our securities. The realization of any of the above risks or any of a broad range of other risks, including those described in these "*Risk Factors*," could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of our Common Stock.

The equity markets in general have recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our Common Stock. Further, price volatility of our Common Stock might worsen if the trading volume of our Common Stock is low. Although we have had periods of high-volume daily trading in our Common Stock, generally our stock is thinly traded. As a consequence of this lack of liquidity, the trading of relatively small quantities of shares by our stockholders may disproportionately influence the price of those shares in either direction. If an active trading market for our Common Stock does not continue, the price of our Common Stock may be more volatile and it may be more difficult and time consuming to complete a transaction in our Common Stock, which could have an adverse effect on the realized price of our Common Stock. In addition, an adverse development in the market price for our Common Stock could negatively affect our ability to issue new equity to fund our activities.

***Our failure to maintain compliance with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq could result in a delisting of our Common Stock.***

On November 1, 2024, we received the Notice from Nasdaq notifying us that, because the closing bid price for our shares of Common Stock, had been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, we did not comply with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement, and Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A) provides that a failure to meet the Minimum Bid Price Requirement exists if the deficiency continues for a period of 30 consecutive business days. Under Nasdaq Listing Rules, we had 180 days, or until April 30, 2025, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement. Following the completion of the Reverse Stock Split, on April 30, 2025, the Company received notification from Nasdaq that it had regained compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2).

On November 21, 2024, we received a letter (the "Second Nasdaq Notice") from Nasdaq advising us that we were not in compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) ("Listing Rule 5250(c)(1)") as a result of our failure to file the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the "Q3 Form 10-Q") in a timely manner. Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic reports (the "Timely Reporting Requirement") with the SEC. Under Nasdaq rules, we had 60 calendar days from receipt of the Nasdaq Notice, or until January 20, 2025, to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Listing Rule. We regained compliance with Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) by filing the Q3 Form 10-Q on January 17, 2025.

If, in the future, we are unable to maintain compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rules, Nasdaq could determine to delist our securities from trading on its exchange and if we are then unable to obtain listing on another national securities

------

exchange, some or all of the following may occur, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our stockholders:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•causing our shares of Common Stock to be transferred to a more limited market than Nasdaq, which could affect the market price, trading volume, liquidity and resale price of such shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•causing an event of default under our existing debt instruments;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•reducing the number of investors, including institutional investors, willing to hold or acquire our Common Stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•decreasing the amount of news and analyst coverage relating to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•reducing the availability of information concerning the trading prices and volume of our Common Stock

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•limiting our ability to issue additional securities, obtain additional financing or pursue strategic restructuring, refinancing or other transactions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•impacting our reputation and, as a consequence, our business and operations.

***We completed a reverse stock split of our shares of common stock, which may reduce and may limit the market trading liquidity of the shares due to the reduced number of shares outstanding and may further decrease of total capitalization.***

On March 20, 2025, we held a special meeting at which our stockholders approved a reverse stock split at various ratios, after which our Board approved the Reverse Stock Split at a ratio of 1-for-35, which was effected on April 15, 2025. The liquidity of our Common Stock may be adversely affected by the Reverse Stock Split as a result of the reduced number of shares outstanding following the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split may be viewed negatively by the market and, consequently, could lead to a decrease in our overall market capitalization. If the per share market price of our Common Stock does not increase in proportion to the reverse stock split ratio, or following such increase does not maintain or exceed such price, then our value, as measured by our market capitalization, will be reduced. Additionally, any reduction in our market capitalization may be magnified as a result of the smaller number of total shares of Common Stock outstanding following a reverse stock split. In addition, the Reverse Stock Split may increase the number of stockholders who own odd lots of our Common Stock, creating the potential for such stockholders to experience an increase in the cost of selling their shares and greater difficulty affecting such sales.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended for the Company to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement of $1.00 per share of Common Stock for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Although we have regained compliance with such requirement, there can be no assurance that we will maintain compliance with such requirement, or that we will not become deficient with respect to other Nasdaq listing requirements following, or as a result of, the Reverse Stock Split.

***Our Warrants are exercisable for our Common Stock, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our stockholders.*** 

As of June 30, 2025, we have 6,958,309 outstanding SPAC Warrants (as defined below), which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 198,810 shares of our Common Stock (on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis) in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement (the "Warrant Agreement"), dated as of January 6, 2021, between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Vickers, governing those securities. The exercise price of these SPAC Warrants is $402.50 per whole share (on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis). "SPAC Warrants" means (i) the redeemable warrants that were included in the Units (each of which consisted of one Vickers ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant) that, following the Business Combination and the Reverse Stock Split, entitle the holder of each whole warrant to purchase 1/35th of a share of Common Stock at a price of $402.50 per whole share (the "Public Warrants"), and (ii) the 6,840,000 warrants (which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 195,429 shares of Common Stock, on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis) sold in a private placement to Vickers Venture Fund VI Pte Ltd and Vickers Venture Fund VI (Plan) Pte Ltd consummated on January 11, 2021 (of which 2,736,000 (which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 78,172 shares of Common Stock) were subsequently forfeited and 3,104,000 (which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 88,686 shares of

------

Common Stock, on a post-Reverse Stock Split basis) were transferred to Sorrento, in each case in connection with the Business Combination) (the "Private Warrants").

As of June 30, 2025, (i) outstanding Penny Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,500,000 shares of our Common Stock are exercisable under the terms thereof, the exercise price of which is $0.01 per share (though such warrants

are subject to the Warrant Repurchase by us pursuant to the Option Agreement), (ii) 3,803,447 February 2024 BDO Firm Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 108,686 shares of Common Stock, the exercise price of which is $59.50 per share; (iii) 470,588 February 2024 BDO Representative Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 13,446 shares of Common Stock, the exercise price of which is $74.38 per share; (iv) 3,250,000 Deposit Warrant, which is currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 3,250,000 shares of Common Stock, the exercise price of which is $1.20 per share, (v) 15,000,000 April 2024 RDO Common Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 428,572 shares of Common Stock, the exercise price of which is $38.50 per share and (vi) 1,200,000 April 2024 RDO Placement Agent Warrants, which are currently exercisable for an aggregate of up to 34,286 shares of Common Stock, the exercise price of which is $43.75 per share.

On October 8, 2024, we issued the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants (as defined below) to purchase an aggregate of 214,284 shares of Common Stock. On the same date, we also issued the October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants (as defined below) to purchase an aggregate of 104,848 shares of Common Stock, which became exercisable 180 days following the date of issuance. The current exercise price of both the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants and the October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants is $36.40 per share. On July 22, 2025, we entered into the Warrant Exchange Agreements with the Tranche B Investors, pursuant to which the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants to purchase up to 107,142 shares of Common Stock were surrendered in exchange for the New Warrants. Oramed

waived its right to participate in the exchange.

On December 13, 2024, we issued the December 2024 RDO Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below) to purchase an aggregate of 68,604 shares of Common Stock, which have been fully exercised as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. On the same date, we also issued the December 2024 RDO Common Warrants (as defined below) to purchase an aggregate of 1,642,871 shares of Common Stock and the StockBlock Warrants (as defined below) to purchase an aggregate of 131,472 shares of Common Stock, which will become exercisable 180 days following the date of issuance. The exercise price of both the December 2024 RDO Common Warrants and the StockBlock Warrants is $22.72 per share and $25.81 per share, respectively.

To the extent the SPAC Warrants, the Penny Warrants, the February 2024 BDO Firm Warrants, the February 2024 BDO Representative Warrants, the Deposit Warrant, the Fee Warrant, the April 2024 RDO Common Warrants, the April 2024 RDO Placement Agent Warrants, the October 2024 Noteholder Warrants, the October 2024 Placement Agent Warrants, the December 2024 RDO Common Warrants, the StockBlock Warrants and the New Warrants (collectively, the "Warrants") are exercised, additional shares of our Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of our Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market, or the fact that such Warrants may be exercised, could adversely affect the prevailing market prices of our Common Stock. There is no guarantee that the Warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless. See below risk factor, "*The SPAC Warrants may never be in the money, they may expire worthless and the terms of the SPAC Warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of a majority of the then-outstanding SPAC Warrants approve of such amendment*. *In addition, almost all of the other warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock are out-of-the-money and may also expire worthless.*"

***The SPAC Warrants may never be in the money, they may expire worthless and the terms of the SPAC Warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of a majority of the then-outstanding SPAC Warrants approve of such amendment. In addition, almost all of the other warrants to purchase shares of our Common Stock are out-of-the-money and may also expire worthless.***

As of June 30, 2025, the exercise price for our SPAC Warrants is $402.50 per whole share of Common Stock. On August 8, 2025, the closing price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $15.72. If the price of our shares of Common Stock remains below $402.50 per whole share, which is the exercise price of our SPAC Warrants, we believe our warrant holders will be unlikely to cash exercise their SPAC Warrants, resulting in little or no cash proceeds to us. There is no guarantee that our SPAC Warrants will be in the money prior to their expiration and, as such, our SPAC Warrants may expire worthless.

------

The SPAC Warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the SPAC Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision or correct any mistake, but requires the approval by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding SPAC Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of SPAC Warrants. Accordingly, we may amend the terms of the SPAC Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of a majority of the then-outstanding SPAC Warrants approve of such amendment. Although our ability to amend the terms of the SPAC Warrants with the consent of majority of the then-outstanding SPAC Warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the SPAC Warrants, convert the SPAC Warrants into cash, shorten the exercise period, or decrease the number of shares of our Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a SPAC Warrant.

In addition, as noted above, on August 8, 2025, the closing price of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market was $15.72, making almost all of the Warrants out-of-the-money. If the price of our shares of Common Stock remains below the exercise prices of such other warrants, we believe the holders of such warrants will be unlikely to cash exercise such warrants, resulting in little or no cash proceeds to us. There is no guarantee that such out-of-the-money warrants will be in the money prior to their expiration and, as such, may expire worthless.
