**Company Overview**

On July 25, 2024, we acquired a wholly-owned subsidiary, Scienture LLC. Scienture LLC is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the commercialization and development of products for the treatment of Cardiovascular (CVS) and Central Nervous System (CNS) diseases. Scienture LLC launched its first commercial product for hypertension and is in the process of commercializing its second product for the treatment of opioid overdose. Its development pipeline consists of a broad range of novel product candidates including new potential treatments for migraine, thrombosis, pain and other related disorders. Scienture LLC's mission is to bring to market innovative technology-based products to address unmet medical needs. Its targeted portfolio consists of short term and long-term opportunities with efficient development, regulatory, and go to market strategies.

***Dispositions***

*SOSRx, LLC*

SOSRx, was formed on February 15, 2022. The Company entered into a relationship with Exchange Health, LLC ("Exchange Health"), a technology company providing an online platform for manufacturers and suppliers to sell and purchase pharmaceuticals, pursuant to which SOSRx, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed, which was owned 51% by the Company and 49% by Exchange Health. SOSRx did not generate material revenue and in February 2023 the Company voluntarily withdrew from the joint venture agreement.

*Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC and Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC*

On January 20, 2023, the Company entered into Membership Interest Purchase Agreements to sell 100% of the outstanding membership interests of the Company's former subsidiaries, Community Specialty Pharmacy, LLC and Alliance Pharma Solutions, LLC (d.b.a DelivMeds). The Company also agreed to enter into a Master Service Agreement to operate the businesses prior to closing. The transactions contemplated by the Membership Interest Purchase Agreements closed on August 22, 2023.

*Superlatus Inc.*

On July 14, 2023, the Company entered into the Superlatus Merger Agreement with Superlatus Inc., a diversified food technology company, and Merger Sub.

On July 31, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Superlatus in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Superlatus Merger Agreement, pursuant to which the Company acquired Superlatus by way of a merger of the Merger Sub with and into Superlatus, with Superlatus being a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving entity in the Superlatus Merger.

Under the terms of the Superlatus Merger Agreement, at the Closing, shareholders of Superlatus received an aggregate of 136,441 shares of the Company's common stock and 306,855 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, convertible into 100 shares of the Company's common stock. At Closing, the value of the Company's common stock was $7.30 per share, resulting in a total value of $225,000,169.

On October 13, 2023, the Company announced that Superlatus PD Holding Company, Inc., a purported subsidiary of Superlatus, entered into a supplier agreement with Rainforest, pursuant to which Superlatus allegedly appointed Rainforest as its exclusive distributor for Superlatus' portfolio of consumer packaged goods brands in certain markets. The Company later learned and announced that neither the Company's management nor the Company's Board of Directors authorized or approved the organization of Superlatus PD Holding Company, Inc. or the entry into the supplier agreement. Instead, the Company's management determined that certain representatives of a former subsidiary of the Company likely unilaterally took actions related to the supplier agreement.

On January 8, 2024, the Company entered into the Superlatus Amendment as not all of the closing conditions of the Superlatus Merger Agreement were met. Under the terms of the Superlatus Amendment, the merger consideration to the shareholders of Superlatus was adjusted to the aggregate of 136,441 shares of the Company's common stock and 15,759 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock, resulting in a total value of $12,500,089. Additionally, the shareholders of Superlatus agreed to surrender back to the Company 291,096 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock.

On March 5, 2024, the Company entered into the Superlatus SPA with the Buyer, Superlatus Foods Inc. Pursuant to the Superlatus SPA, the Company sold all of the issued and outstanding stock of Superlatus to the Buyer. A $1.00 purchase price was delivered to the Company at the closing, which occurred simultaneously with the execution of the Superlatus SPA. As a result of the transaction Superlatus is no longer a subsidiary of the Company, and the rights and assets of Superlatus together with various liabilities and obligations that were specific to Superlatus became rights and obligations of the Buyer.

*<u>Other Legacy Subsidiaries</u>*

The Company also previously owned 100% of Softell, IPS, Bonum Health, Inc., and Bonum Health, LLC.

*Softell & IPS Entities*

On October 4, 2024, the Company and Softell entered into the IPS Assignment Agreement, pursuant to which the Company transferred, and Softell accepted, 100% of the membership interests of IPS. As a result, IPS became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Softell.

On April 8, 2025, the Company entered into the IPS MIPA with Tollo, pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell all of the Company's membership interests in IPS. Suren Ajjarapu, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, and Prashant Patel, the Company's former President and Chief Operating Officer, each have a beneficial interest in Tollo.

On April 8, 2025, the Company also entered into the Softell SPA with Tollo, pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Softell.

*Bonum Health Entities*

On April 8, 2025, the Company also entered into the Bonum SPA with Tollo, pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Bonum Health, Inc.

In November 2025, the Company dissolved Bonum Health, LLC.

The divestitures described above are part of a broader strategic realignment at the Company designed to sharpen operational focus and unlock long-term value. It is aligned with the Company's commitment to streamline its core operations, optimize its portfolio, and accelerate growth in the Branded and Specialty Pharma markets. The Company intends to use the proceeds obtained from the divestment to facilitate the high-growth commercial and strategic product development activities at its Scienture LLC subsidiary.

The Company believes that the key benefits of the divestitures include:

● <u>Increased Operational Efficiency</u> **:** Streamlining the Company's structure aimed at strengthening its balance sheet, providing for leaner operations and a more agile decision-making framework.

● <u>Realize Synergies</u> **:** Consolidating overlapping functions and eliminating redundancies intended to cause annualized cost savings.

● <u>Dedicated Focus</u> **:** Affording the full focus and deployment of resources to the commercial products and the high value product pipeline in development at its Scienture subsidiary.

**Liquidity Outlook Cash Explanation**

*Cash Requirements*

As of December 31, 2025, the Company's primary source of liquidity consisted of $6,662,008 in cash and cash equivalents and the Tollo promissory note with a principal balance of $5,000,000 (bearing interest at the prime rate and maturing June 30, 2030). The Company has financed its operations primarily through equity issuances under its equity line of credit ("ELOC") and convertible note arrangements. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company raised approximately $26.3 million in gross equity proceeds through ELOC and other equity transactions. The Company's principal uses of cash are commercialization of ARBLI™ and REZENOPY<sup>TM</sup> research and development, general and administrative costs, and debt service. The Company expects to fund its operations for at least the next twelve months from its existing cash balance and revenues generated from ARBLI™ commercialization, which commenced in the third quarter of 2025 and is expected to grow in 2026. The company also expects to generate revenue from REZENOPY<sup>TM</sup> which is anticipated to commence in the third quarter of 2026. The Company may also raise additional funding through the sale of debt or equity to fund accelerated pipeline development activities; however, there can be no assurance that such funding will be available on favorable terms, or at all.

The Company's ability to continue to fund operations beyond the next twelve months will depend on its ability to grow revenues from the commercialization of ARBLI™ and REZENOPY<sup>TM</sup> and, if needed, to access additional capital markets. Management continues to evaluate potential strategic transactions and partnerships to accelerate product development and commercialization across the pipeline.

*Going Concern*

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6,662,008, positive working capital of approximately $5,181,000, and current liabilities of approximately $2,735,000. Management evaluated conditions and events in accordance with ASC 205-40 and determined that, based on the factors described below, there is no substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the date these financial statements are issued. See also "Note 2 – Going Concern" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $80,551,237 and cash and cash equivalents of $6,662,008. The Company had current liabilities of $2,735,351 and working capital of approximately $5,181,000, an improvement of approximately $6,782,000 from the working capital deficit of $(1,601,416) as of December 31, 2024.

Management believes that the Company's existing cash of $6,662,008, combined with growing revenues from ARBLI™ and REZENOPY<sup>TM</sup> commercialization and its plans to access additional capital as needed, will be sufficient to fund operations and meet its obligations for at least the twelve months following the issuance of these financial statements. Key factors supporting this assessment include: (i) cash on hand of $6.7 million, which management believes is sufficient to cover current operating requirements; (ii) positive working capital of approximately $5.2 million as of December 31, 2025, compared to a working capital deficit of approximately $(1.6) million as of December 31, 2024; (iii) initial revenues from ARBLI™ commencing in the third quarter of 2025, with projected revenue growth in 2026; (iv) initial revenues from REZENOPY™ commencing in the third quarter of 2026, with projected revenue growth in 2027 and (v) the Company's ability to modulate discretionary spending and access equity markets, as demonstrated by raising approximately $26.3 million in gross equity proceeds during 2025.

The net loss of $43,507,142 was the primary driver of cash used in operations in 2025, partially offset by significant non-cash charges including $26,346,050 of impairment losses, $3,161,100 of debt discount amortization, $2,068,892 of stock-based compensation expense, $4,310,090 of common stock issued for services, $453,846 of amortization of intangible assets, and gains on warrant and derivative fair value changes of $3,205,854. Changes in working capital used cash of approximately $6,782,427, primarily driven by increases in accounts receivable and inventory associated with the ARBLI™ commercialization launch.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities from continuing operations was $0 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $2,379,024 net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations was $0 for 2025, compared to $29,931,815 in 2024, which primarily reflected proceeds from the disposition of Micro Merchant Systems assets and other asset sales completed in the first and second quarters of 2024.

Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $19,733,595, compared to net cash used in financing activities of approximately $12,980,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Cash provided by financing activities in 2025 was primarily driven by gross proceeds of $26,293,039 from the issuance of common stock through the Company's ELOC and other equity transactions, partially offset by repayment of convertible notes of $9,244,444, net repayment of related party loans of $415,000, and development liability payments of $400,000. The year ended December 31, 2024 reflected cash used in financing activities primarily due to the payment of special cash dividends of approximately $14,858,000 partially offset by proceeds from convertible note issuances.

*Revenues and Gross Profit*

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $431,609, compared to $136,643 for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $294,966, or approximately 216%. The increase reflects initial sales of ARBLI™ (SCN-102, Losartan Potassium Oral Suspension) through wholesale distribution channels, which commenced in the third quarter of 2025 following FDA approval in March 2025. Revenue in 2024 consisted primarily of residual pharmaceutical wholesale activity prior to the IPS disposition. Cost of sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $100,127, resulting in gross profit of $331,482 (gross margin: 76.8%), compared to cost of sales of $130,638 and gross profit of $6,005 (gross margin: 4.4%) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The improvement in gross margin reflects the shift to higher-margin branded pharmaceutical sales through ARBLI™ versus the prior-period lower-margin wholesale distribution activity.

*Operating Expenses*

Total operating expenses were $42,922,324 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $14,707,020 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase of $28,215,304 was primarily driven by non-cash impairment charges of $26,346,050 recognized in 2025 (comprising a goodwill impairment of $21,372,960 and IPR&D impairment of $4,973,090), with no comparable charge in 2024. Excluding impairment charges, total operating expenses were $16,576,274 in 2025 compared to $14,707,020 in 2024. Key components of operating expenses were as follows:

Wage and salary expense was $2,118,568 for the year ended December 31, 2025, relatively flat compared to $2,111,066 for 2024. Professional fees increased $949,490 to $2,407,822 in 2025 from $1,458,332 in 2024, primarily due to higher external consulting costs related to commercialization activities, SEC compliance, and corporate actions. Accounting and legal expense was $2,070,337 in 2025 compared to $1,807,041 in 2024, an increase of $263,296, driven by incremental costs associated with the year-end audit, SEC filings, and legal matters. General and administrative expenses (including non-cash stock-based compensation) increased $1,248,436 to $7,926,016 in 2025 from $6,677,580 in 2024, primarily due to higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense and costs associated with ARBLI™ commercialization activities. Technology expense decreased $319,050 to $97,261 in 2025 from $416,311 in 2024, primarily reflecting the wind-down of legacy technology platform expenses following the IPS and Softell dispositions. Research and development expenses were $1,956,270 in 2025 compared to $2,236,690 in 2024, a decrease of $280,420, reflecting shifts in the timing of CRO, regulatory spending and partner milestone payments across our pipeline programs (SCN-102: $368K; SCN-104: $422K; SCN-106: $298K; SCN-110: $500K in 2025).

*Non-Operating Income (Expense)*

Non-operating income (expense) for the year ended December 31, 2025 included: a gain on the change in fair value of warrant liability of $909,020 (2024: loss of $182,982), reflecting mark-to-market decreases in warrant fair value; a gain on the change in fair value of the derivative liability of $2,296,834 (2024: gain of $180,383), primarily related to the derecognition of the Arena convertible debenture derivative liability upon full repayment; interest income of $302,702 (2024: $135,337) on the Tollo promissory note; interest expense of $4,083,206 (2024: $1,335,631), reflecting a full year of amortization of debt discount and interest on the Arena debenture and other convertible notes; a loss on conversion of note payable of $53,446; and a loss on disposition of subsidiaries of $288,204, primarily related to the Bonum Health, Inc. and Softell transactions. The Company recognized an income tax benefit of $1,994,878 for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024: $534,396), reflecting changes in deferred tax liabilities attributable to the intangible asset impairment charges recognized during the year.

*Net Loss and Discontinued Operations*

Net loss from continuing operations, net of tax, was $41,512,264 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $18,244,480 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to the $26,346,050 of non-cash impairment charges recognized in 2025, with no comparable charge in 2024. Excluding impairment, net loss from continuing operations improved by approximately $1,083,388 year over year. There was no income from discontinued operations in 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2024, income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $27,310,278, primarily from the gain on the sale of MMS assets and the Softell disposition in the first half of 2024. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $41,512,264, compared to net income of $9,065,798 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Critical Accounting Policies**

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of net sales and expenses for each period. The following represents a summary of our critical accounting policies, defined as those policies that we believe are the most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and that require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.

***Acquisitions***

The Company accounts for acquisitions and investments in businesses as business combinations if the target meets the definition of a business and (a) the target is a variable interest entity and the Company is the target's primary beneficiary, and therefore the Company must consolidate its financial statements, or (b) the Company acquires more than 50% of the voting interest of the target and it was not previously consolidated. The Company records business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be recorded at fair value as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

The application of the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions in the determination of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in order to properly

***Stock-Based Compensation***

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, "*Compensation-Stock Compensation*". ASC 718 requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Stock option forfeitures are recognized at the date of employee termination. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2018-07 for the accounting of share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services.

***Revenue Recognition***

In general, the Company accounts for revenue recognition in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers."

IPS is a licensed wholesaler of brand, generic and non-drug products to Customers. IPS takes orders for products, creates invoices for each order and recognizes revenue at the time the product is shipped to the Customer. IPS was divested on April 30, 2025, and its operations are presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented. Following the IPS disposition, the Company's revenue is derived solely from the sale of pharmaceutical products through wholesale distribution channels. ARBLI™ (SCN-102, Losartan Potassium Oral Suspension) is the Company's first commercially available product, with sales commencing in the third quarter of 2025. The Company sells its products to wholesale distributors, who in turn sell to retail pharmacies, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. Revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers to the customer, which generally occurs upon delivery to the customer's designated facility. Revenue is measured at the net transaction price, which reflects the gross invoice price reduced by estimated variable consideration, as described below.

*Gross-to-Net Sales Adjustments.* The Company records product revenue net of estimated variable consideration. Gross-to-net adjustments include: (i) chargebacks, representing the difference between the price charged to wholesale distributors and the lower contract price that distributors extend to their end-customers (including retail pharmacies, hospitals, and clinics under contracted pricing arrangements), estimated based on expected sell-through to qualifying end-customers and contractual terms; (ii) wholesaler rebates and distribution service fees, representing fees and rebates paid to wholesale distributors and, where applicable, group purchasing organizations ("GPOs") under contractual arrangements, estimated based on contracted rates, expected sales volumes, and historical payment patterns; (iii) prompt pay discounts, representing discounts offered to wholesale distributors for timely payment, estimated based on contractual terms and expected payment timing; and (iv) product returns, estimated based on contractual return rights and available market data, which have not been material to date given the early stage of commercialization of ARBLI™. Estimates of variable consideration are updated each reporting period based on available historical data, contractual terms, and management's judgment regarding current market conditions. Accrued liabilities related to gross-to-net adjustments are classified within accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations as all contracts have an expected duration of one year or less.

***Acquisitions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets***

The Company allocates the cost of an acquired business to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess value of the cost of an acquired business over the estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized as goodwill. The Company uses a variety of information sources to determine the value of acquired assets and liabilities, including: identifiable intangibles.

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles are not amortized but are instead evaluated annually for impairment as part of the Company's annual financial review, or when indicators of a potential impairment are present. The annual test for impairment performed for goodwill can be qualitative or quantitative, taking into consideration certain factors surrounding the fair value of the goodwill including, level by which fair value exceeded carrying value in the prior valuation, as well as macroeconomic factors, industry conditions and actual results at the test date.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In addition to our financial results determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP"), our management uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization expenses to net income ("EBITDA"), a non-GAAP measure, as a key measure in operating our business. We use EBITDA to make strategic decisions, establish business plans and forecasts, identify trends affecting our business, and evaluate performance. For example, we use adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA is presented for supplemental informational purposes only, should not be considered a substitute for, or a more meaningful measure than, financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. A reconciliation is provided below for adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $(5,384,274), compared to adjusted EBITDA of $17,820,898 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease reflects the transition from a diversified operating business (which included higher-revenue wholesale and asset-sale activities in 2024) to a focused specialty pharmaceutical company in 2025, with initial ARBLI™ revenues only commencing in Q3 2025 and higher operating costs associated with the build-out of commercialization infrastructure. Excluding the non-cash impairment charges of $26,346,050 recognized in 2025, adjusted EBITDA was $(5,384,274), reflecting the early-stage commercial nature of the business. The following table reconciles net loss from continuing operations to adjusted EBITDA for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

**Family Relationships**

There are no familial relationships among our directors and executive officers.

**Board Composition**

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our Board. Dr. Hariharan is the Executive Chairman of our Board. Subject to the terms of our Certificate of Incorporation, our Board may fix, by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time by our Board, the number of directors on the Board. Currently, our Board is comprised of five directors with one-year terms. Each director's term will continue until the election and qualification of his or her successor, or the earlier of his or her death, resignation or removal.

Our Amended and Restated Bylaws (our "Bylaws") provide that a majority of our Board will fill vacant directorships, including newly-created seats, unless our Board determines that any such vacancies or newly created directorships should be filled by our stockholders. Our Bylaws also provide that, subject to any applicable preferred stockholder rights, our directors may only be removed for cause and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Our Board does not have a policy requiring the positions of the Chairperson of our Board and our Chief Executive Officer to be separate or held by the same individual. Our directors believe that this determination should be based on criteria that are in our and our stockholders' best interests, including the composition, skills and experience of our directors, specific challenges faced by us or the industry in which we operate, and governance efficiency.

**Director Independence**

Our Board determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director, as defined in the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq") and applicable laws of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), on an annual basis. In assessing director independence, our Board considers, among other matters, the nature and extent of any business relationships, including transactions conducted, between us and each director and between us and any organization for which one of our directors is a director or executive officer or with which one of our directors is otherwise affiliated.

Our Board has determined that (i) each of the directors serving on the Board, other than Shankar Hariharan and Narasimhan Mani, qualifies as an independent director, as defined under the Nasdaq listing rules and (ii) our Board consists of a majority of "independent directors," as defined under applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules relating to director independence. We also are subject to certain rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications and operations of the audit committee, as discussed below.

Our Board selected the members of the Audit Committee based on a determination that each of the members is financially literate (as required by Nasdaq rules) and qualified to monitor the performance of management and the independent auditors and to monitor our disclosures so that our disclosures fairly present our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Our Board has also determined that Mr. Doshi is an "audit committee financial expert" (as defined in the SEC rules) because he has the following attributes: (i) an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") and financial statements; (ii) the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; (iii) experience analyzing and evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by our financial statements; (iv) an understanding of internal control over financial reporting; and (v) an understanding of audit committee functions. Mr. Doshi has acquired these attributes by means of having held various positions that provided relevant experience, as described in his biographical information above.

Our Audit Committee has the sole authority, at its discretion and at our expense, to retain, compensate, evaluate, and terminate our independent auditors and to review, as it deems appropriate, the scope of our annual audits, our accounting policies and reporting practices, our system of internal controls, our compliance with policies regarding business conduct and other matters. In addition, our Audit Committee has the authority, at its discretion and at our expense, to retain special legal, accounting, or other advisors to advise the Audit Committee.

None of our current or former officers and employees are or were during the year ending December 31, 2025, members of our Compensation Committee. Additionally, no member of our Compensation Committee had any relationship requiring disclosure by us under Section 404 of Regulation S-K.

***Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee***

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is comprised exclusively of independent directors and currently consists of Donald G. Fell (chair), Subbarao Jayanthi, and Mayur Doshi. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying prospective qualified candidates to fill vacancies on the Board, recommending director nominees (including chairpersons) for each of our committees, developing and recommending appropriate corporate governance guidelines and overseeing the self-evaluation of the Board.

In considering individual director nominees and committee appointments, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to achieve a balance of knowledge, experience and capability on our Board and its committees and to identify individuals who can effectively assist us in achieving our short-term and long-term goals, protecting our stockholders' interests, and creating and enhancing value for our stockholders. In so doing, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers a person's diversity attributes (e.g., professional experiences, skills, background, race, and gender) as a whole and does not necessarily attribute any greater weight to one attribute. Moreover, diversity in professional experience, skills and background, and diversity in race and gender, are just a few of the attributes that our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee takes into account. In evaluating prospective candidates, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers whether the individual has personal and professional integrity, good business judgment and relevant experience and skills, and whether such individual is willing and able to commit the time necessary for our Board and committee service.

While there are no specific minimum requirements that must be met by a prospective director nominee, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that director nominees should possess personal and professional integrity, have good business judgment, have relevant experience and skills, and be willing and able to commit the necessary time for our Board and committee service. We do not have a formal diversity policy. However, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the objective of recommending individuals that can best perpetuate the success of our business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound business judgment using their diversity of experience in various areas. We believe our current directors possess diverse professional experiences, skills, and backgrounds, in addition to (among other characteristics) high standards of personal and professional ethics, proven records of success in their respective fields and valuable knowledge of our business and our industry.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee uses a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director nominees, and regularly assesses the appropriate size of our Board and whether any vacancies on our Board are expected due to retirement or other circumstances. In addition, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers, from time to time, various potential candidates for directorships. Candidates may come to the attention of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee through current Board members, professional search firms, stockholders, or other persons. These candidates may be evaluated at regular or special meetings of our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and may be considered at any point during the year.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates director nominees at regular or special committee meetings pursuant to the criteria described above and reviews qualified director nominees with our Board. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee selects nominees that best suit our Board's current needs and recommends one or more of such individuals for election to our Board.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees for our Board recommended in good faith by our stockholders, provided those nominees meet the requirements of Nasdaq and applicable federal securities law. Stockholders should submit the candidate's name, credentials, contact information and his or her written consent to be considered as a candidate. These recommendations should be submitted in writing to our Secretary. The proposing stockholder should also include his or her contact information and a statement of his or her share ownership (how many shares owned and for how long). Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may request further information about stockholder recommended nominees in order to comply with any applicable laws, rules, or regulations or to the extent such information is required to be provided by such stockholder pursuant to any applicable laws, rules, or regulations. Individuals recommended by stockholders in accordance with these procedures will receive the same consideration received by individuals identified to our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee through other means. In addition, our Bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors at an annual meeting of stockholders or at a special meeting at which directors are to be elected in accordance with the notice of meeting pursuant to the requirements of the our Bylaws and applicable Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations. There were no material changes to the procedures by which our stockholders may recommend nominees to our Board since our last annual or quarterly report filed with the SEC.

Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed with the SEC on November 20, 2019, and is available on our website at *www.scientureholdings.com/governance*.

**Code of Business Conduct and Ethics**

Our Board has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers and employees. This Code of Ethics is available for review in print, without charge, to any stockholder who requests a copy by writing to us at Scienture Holdings, Inc., 20 Austin Boulevard, Commack, NY 11725, Attention: Investor Relations.

We intend to disclose any amendments to our Code of Ethics and any waivers with respect to our Code of Ethics granted to our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer, or any of our other employees performing similar functions on our website and also in a Current Report on Form 8-K, as required, within four business days following the date of such amendment or waiver. In such case, the disclosure regarding the amendment or waiver will remain available on our website for at least 12 months after the initial disclosure. There have been no waivers granted with respect to our Code of Ethics to any such officers or employees.

***Equity Grant Timing***

Our Board does not determine the timing or terms of equity awards, including stock options or similar awards whose exercise price is related to the market value of our common stock, in connection with the release of material nonpublic information that is likely to result in changes to the price of our common stock, such as a significant positive or negative earnings announcement, and we do not time the public release of such information based on stock option grant dates. During fiscal year 2025, there were no equity awards granted to any of our named executive officers within either four business days before or one business day after the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and any Current Report on Form 8-K that contained any material nonpublic information.

**Employment Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers**

***Surendra Ajjarapu****, Former Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Secretary*

We previously entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ajjarapu, our former Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, on April 14, 2020. Given Mr. Ajjarapu's resignation from his positions as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective May 16, 2025, his employment agreement with the Company terminated on such date. However, the description below summarizes the main terms of the employment agreement while it was in effect prior to Mr. Ajjarapu's resignation.

The agreement, which provided for Mr. Ajjarapu to serve as our Chief Executive Officer, had a term extending through December 31, 2025, provided that the agreement would automatically extend for additional one-year terms thereafter in the event neither party provided the other at least 60 days prior notice of their intention not to renew the terms of the agreement. The agreement also required the Board, subject to certain exceptions, to nominate Mr. Ajjarapu to serve on the Board at each stockholders' meeting that occurs during the term of the agreement and to serve as the Chairman of the Board.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Ajjarapu's annual compensation package included (1) a base salary of $360,000 per year ($300,000 for the 2020 fiscal year), subject to annual increases as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the "Compensation Committee"), and as discussed below (the "Base Salary"), and (2) a performance bonus equal to up to 100% of his Base Salary each year, based on the Company meeting certain performance metrics as determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee and Mr. Ajjarapu ("Performance Metrics"). Additionally, in the event that Mr. Ajjarapu met at least 70% of the requirements for any annual performance bonus, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation Committee (which requirement was met for the 2020 fiscal year, and which salary was automatically increased), Mr. Ajjarapu's Base Salary would be increased by 20%. Mr. Ajjarapu was eligible for the Base Salary increase on an annual basis, with such increases being cumulative. Such increases in Base Salary did not require an amendment to the agreement. Mr. Ajjarapu's Performance Metrics included specific company performance goals and objectives, including revenue goals, app downloads, and net operating income milestones, as could be modified or added to from time to time with the mutual approval of Mr. Ajjarapu and the Compensation Committee. The determination of whether the Performance Metrics were met was determined in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation Committee, no later than 90 days after (a) December 31, 2020, in connection with the 2020 Performance Metrics; and (b) the end of such calendar year for subsequent years. For the year ended December 31, 2020, Mr. Ajjarapu was awarded 49,020 shares of restricted Common Stock (the "2020 Restricted Stock"), valued at $372,062, based on the closing sales price of the Company's Common Stock on the effective date of grant, which vested in full. Mr. Ajjarapu was also eligible to receive additional bonuses awarded from time to time in the discretion of the Board and/or Compensation Committee and the Board (in cash, options, or other forms of equity), or the Compensation Committee could waive or change the performance metrics associated with his performance bonus in their discretion. Mr. Ajjarapu's compensation under his employment agreement was able to be increased, from time to time, by the Compensation Committee or the Board (with the recommendation of the Compensation Committee), which increases would not require the entry into an amended employment agreement. Mr. Ajjarapu was also paid an automobile allowance of $1,000 per month during the term of the agreement and was eligible to participate in the Company's stock option plan and other benefit plans.

The agreement required Mr. Ajjarapu to devote at least 75% of his business time and efforts to Company business. The agreement also prohibited Mr. Ajjarapu from competing against us during the term of the agreement and for a period of twelve months after the termination of the agreement in any state and any other geographic area in which we or our subsidiaries provide Restricted Services or Restricted Products, directly or indirectly, during the twelve months preceding the date of the termination of the agreement. "Restricted Services" means the manufacture, distribution, wholesale, and sale of Restricted Products, healthcare services, and any other services that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, performing, and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination, or which Mr. Ajjarapu has obtained any trade secret or other confidential information about at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement. "Restricted Products" means pharmaceutical drugs and other healthcare products and any other product, that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, manufacturing, distributing, purchasing, selling, and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date the agreement is terminated, or which Mr. Ajjarapu obtained any trade secret or other confidential information in connection with at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement.

The Company had the ability to terminate Mr. Ajjarapu's employment (a) for "cause" (which was defined to include a material breach of the agreement by Mr. Ajjarapu, any act of misappropriation of funds or embezzlement by Mr. Ajjarapu, Mr. Ajjarapu committing any act of fraud, or Mr. Ajjarapu being indicted of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere with respect to, theft, fraud, a crime involving moral turpitude, or a felony under federal or applicable state law); (b) in the event Mr. Ajjarapu suffered a physical or mental disability that rendered him unable to perform his duties and obligations for either 90 consecutive days or 180 days in any 12-month period; (c) for any reason without "cause"; or (d) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above. The agreement was also subject to automatic termination upon the death of Mr. Ajjarapu.

Mr. Ajjarapu was able to terminate his employment (a) for "good reason" (i.e., (i) if his position or duties were modified to such an extent that his duties were no longer consistent with the position of CEO of the Company, (ii) there had been a material breach by us of a material term of the agreement or Mr. Ajjarapu reasonably believed that we were violating any law that would have a material adverse effect on our operations and such violation continued uncured 30 days after such breach and after notice thereof had been provided to us by Mr. Ajjarapu, (iii) Mr. Ajjarapu's compensation was reduced without his consent, or we failed to pay to Mr. Ajjarapu any compensation due to him upon five days written notice from Mr. Ajjarapu informing us of such failure, or (iv) if Mr. Ajjarapu was also then serving as a member of the Board and was not re-nominated by the Board to serve as a member of the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that prior to any such termination by Mr. Ajjarapu for "good reason", Mr. Ajjarapu was required to first advise us in writing (within 15 days of the occurrence of such event) and provide us 15 days to cure (5 days in connection with the reduction of Mr. Ajjarapu's salary or the failure to pay amounts owed to him)); (b) for any reason without "good reason"; and (c) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above.

In the event that Mr. Ajjarapu's employment was terminated for any reason (not including, however, a termination by us for "cause" or a termination as a result of Mr. Ajjarapu's death or disability) during the twelve-month period following a Change of Control (a "Change of Control Termination") or in anticipation of a Change of Control, we would have been required to pay Mr. Ajjarapu, within 60 days following the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control, a cash severance payment in a lump sum in an amount equal to 3.0 times the sum of his current Base Salary and the amount of the last bonus payable to Mr. Ajjarapu (the "Change of Control Payment"), which amount would be due within 60 days of the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control. If Mr. Ajjarapu's employment was terminated due to a Change of Control Termination within six months prior to a Change of Control, it would have been deemed to be "in anticipation of a Change of Control" for all purposes. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, all of Mr. Ajjarapu's equity-based compensation would immediately vest to Mr. Ajjarapu and any outstanding stock options held by Mr. Ajjarapu could be exercised by Mr. Ajjarapu until the earlier of (A) one (1) year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances, provided that if Mr. Ajjarapu's employment ended in anticipation of a Change of Control and such equity-based compensation awards or stock options had previously expired pursuant to their terms, the Company would be required to pay Mr. Ajjarapu a lump sum payment, payable on the same date as the Change of Control Payment, equal to the Black Scholes value of the expired and unexercised equity compensation awards and stock options held by Mr. Ajjarapu on the date of termination, based on the value of such awards had they been exercisable through the end of their stated term and had not previously expired. "Change of Control" for the purposes of the agreement meant: (a) any person obtaining beneficial ownership representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by our then outstanding voting securities without the approval of not fewer than two-thirds of our Board; (b) a merger or consolidation of us whether or not approved by our Board, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in our voting securities immediately prior thereto continuing to represent at least 50% of the total voting power outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (c) our stockholders approving a plan of complete liquidation or an agreement for the sale or disposition by us of all or substantially all of our assets, or (d) as a result of the election of members to our Board, a majority of the Board consisting of persons who are not members of the Board on April 14, 2020, except in the event that such slate of directors is proposed by a committee of the Board or the Board; provided that if the definition of "Change of Control" in our Stock Incentive Plans or Equity Compensation Plans was more favorable than the definition above, then such definition would control.

If Mr. Ajjarapu's employment had been terminated pursuant to his death, disability, the end of the initial term (or any renewal term), without "good reason" by Mr. Ajjarapu, or by us for "cause", Mr. Ajjarapu would have been entitled to all salary accrued through the termination date and no other benefits other than as required under the terms of employee benefit plans in which Mr. Ajjarapu was participating as of the termination date. Additionally, any unvested stock options or equity compensation held by Mr. Ajjarapu would immediately terminate and be forfeited (unless otherwise provided in the applicable award) and any previously vested stock options (or if applicable equity compensation) would be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Stock Incentive Plan or Equity Compensation Plan, or award agreement, as such may describe the rights and obligations upon termination of employment of Mr. Ajjarapu.

If Mr. Ajjarapu's employment had been terminated by Mr. Ajjarapu for "good reason", or by us without "cause", Mr. Ajjarapu would have been entitled to continue to receive the salary due pursuant to the terms of the agreement at the rate in effect upon the termination date for eighteen (18) months, plus the pro rata amount of any discretionary bonus and performance bonus he would have been due for the following eighteen (18) months (with any metrics being extrapolated based on the last four (4) full prior quarters of the Company's operations prior to termination). Additionally, unvested benefits (whether equity or cash benefits and bonuses) would vest immediately upon such termination and any outstanding stock options previously granted to Mr. Ajjarapu would vest immediately upon such termination and would be exercisable until the earlier of (A) one year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances. Mr. Ajjarapu would have also received, if he so elected, continued health insurance under COBRA, paid for by the Company, for eighteen (18) months following the termination date (subject to certain rights which reduce such obligation if Mr. Ajjarapu was covered by health insurance with a substantially similar level of insurance as prior to the termination).

The agreement contained standard assignment of inventions, indemnification, and confidentiality provisions. Further, Mr. Ajjarapu was subject to non-solicitation covenants during the term of the agreement. Mr. Ajjarapu is prohibited from competing until May 16, 2026.

***Prashant Patel****, Former President, Chief Operating Officer, and Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer*

We previously entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Patel, our former Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer, President, and Chief Operating Officer, on March 31, 2024. Given Mr. Patel's resignation from his positions as Interim Principal Financial/Accounting Officer on March 13, 2025, and President and Chief Operating Officer on May 20, 2025, his employment agreement with the Company terminated on such date. However, the description below summarizes the main terms of the employment agreement while it was in effect prior to Mr. Patels' resignation.

The agreement, which provided for Mr. Patel to serve as our President and Chief Operating Officer, had a term extending through December 31, 2025, provided that the agreement was subject to automatic extension for additional one-year terms thereafter in the event neither party provided the other at least 60 days prior notice of their intention not to renew the terms of the agreement. The agreement also required the Board, subject to certain exceptions, to nominate Mr. Patel to serve on the Board at each stockholders' meeting which occurred during the term of the agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, Mr. Patel's annual compensation package included (1) a base salary of $350,000 per year, subject to annual increases as determined in the sole discretion of the Chief Executive Officer, and as discussed below (the "Base Salary"), and (2) a performance bonus equal to up to 100% of his Base Salary each year, based on the Company meeting certain performance metrics as determined from time to time by the Compensation Committee of the Board ("Performance Metrics"). Additionally, in the event that Mr. Patel met at least 70% of the requirements for any annual performance bonus, as determined in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation Committee, Mr. Patel's Base Salary would increase by 20%. Mr. Patel was eligible for the Base Salary increase on an annual basis, with such increases being cumulative. Such increases in Base Salary did not require an amendment to the agreement. Mr. Patel's Performance Metrics were to be added to the agreement and the Company contemplated that such metrics would include specific company performance goals and objectives, including revenue goals, app downloads, and net operating income milestones, as could be modified or added to from time to time with the mutual approval of Mr. Patel and the Compensation Committee. The determination of whether the Performance Metrics had been met were determined in the reasonable discretion of the Compensation Committee, no later than 90 days after the end of such calendar year. Mr. Patel was also eligible to receive additional bonuses awarded from time to time in the discretion of the Compensation Committee (in cash, options, or other forms of equity). Mr. Patel was also paid an automobile allowance of $1,000 per month during the term of the agreement and was eligible to participate in the Company's stock option plan and other benefit plans.

The agreement required Mr. Patel to devote at least 75% of his business time and efforts to Company business. The agreement also prohibited Mr. Patel from competing against us during the term of the agreement and for a period of twelve months after the termination of the agreement in any state and any other geographic area in which we or our subsidiaries provide Restricted Services or Restricted Products, directly or indirectly, during the twelve months preceding the date of the termination of the agreement. "Restricted Services" means the manufacture, distribution, wholesale, and sale of Restricted Products, healthcare services, and any other services that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, performing, and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination, or which Mr. Patel has obtained any trade secret or other confidential information about at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement. "Restricted Products" means pharmaceutical drugs and other healthcare products and any other product, that we or our subsidiaries have provided or are researching, developing, manufacturing, distributing, purchasing, selling, and/or providing at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date the agreement is terminated, or which Mr. Patel obtained any trade secret or other confidential information in connection with at any time during the two years immediately preceding the date of termination of the agreement.

The Company had the ability to terminate Mr. Patel's employment (a) for "cause" (which was defined to include a material breach of the agreement by Mr. Patel, any act of misappropriation of funds or embezzlement by Mr. Patel, any act of fraud by Mr. Patel, or Mr. Patel being indicted of, or pleading guilty or nolo contendere with respect to, theft, fraud, a crime involving moral turpitude, or a felony under federal or applicable state law); (b) in the event Mr. Patel suffered a physical or mental disability that rendered him unable to perform his duties and obligations for either 90 consecutive days or 180 days in any 12-month period; (c) for any reason without "cause"; or (d) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above. The agreement was also subject to automatic termination upon the death of Mr. Patel.

Mr. Patel could terminate his employment (a) for "good reason" (i.e., (i) if his position or duties were modified to such an extent that his duties were no longer consistent with the position of Chief Compliance Officer of the Company, (ii) there had been a material breach by us of a material term of the agreement or Mr. Patel reasonably believed that we were violating any law that would have a material adverse effect on our operations and such violation continued uncured 30 days after such breach and after notice thereof had been provided to us by Mr. Patel, (iii) Mr. Patel's compensation was reduced without his consent, or we failed to pay to Mr. Patel any compensation due to him upon five days written notice from Mr. Patel informing us of such failure, or (iv) if Mr. Patel was also then serving as a member of the Board and was not re-nominated by the Board to serve as a member of the Board at any annual meeting of stockholders of the Company; provided, however, prior to any such termination by Mr. Patel for "good reason", Mr. Patel was required to first advise us in writing (within 15 days of the occurrence of such event) and provide us 15 days to cure (5 days in connection with the reduction of Mr. Patel's salary or the failure to pay amounts owed to him)); (b) for any reason without "good reason"; and (c) upon expiration of the initial term of the agreement (or any renewal) upon notice as provided above.

In the event that Mr. Patel's employment was terminated for any reason (not including, however, a termination by us for "cause" or a termination as a result of Mr. Patel's death or disability) during the twelve-month period following a Change of Control (a "Change of Control Termination") or in anticipation of a Change of Control, we were required to pay Mr. Patel, within 60 days following the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control, a cash severance payment in a lump sum in an amount equal to 3.0 times the sum of his current base salary and the amount of the last bonus payable to Mr. Patel (the "Change of Control Payment"), which amount would be due within 60 days of the later of (i) the date of such Change of Control Termination; and (ii) the date of such Change of Control. If Mr. Patel's employment terminated due to a Change of Control Termination within six (6) months prior to a Change of Control, it would have been deemed to be "in anticipation of a Change of Control" for all purposes. In addition, in the event of a Change of Control, all of Mr. Patel's equity-based compensation would have immediately vested to Mr. Patel and any outstanding stock options held by Mr. Patel could be exercised by Mr. Patel until the earlier of (A) one (1) year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances, provided that if Mr. Patel's employment ended in anticipation of a Change of Control and such equity-based compensation awards or stock options had previously expired pursuant to their terms, the Company would be required to pay Mr. Patel a lump sum payment, payable on the same date as the Change of Control Payment, equal to the Black Scholes value of the expired and unexercised equity compensation awards and stock options held by Mr. Patel on the date of termination, based on the value of such awards had they been exercisable through the end of their stated term and had not previously expired. "Change of Control" for the purposes of the agreement meant: (a) any person obtaining beneficial ownership representing more than 50% of the total voting power represented by our then outstanding voting securities without the approval of not fewer than two-thirds of our Board; (b) a merger or consolidation of us whether or not approved by our Board, other than a merger or consolidation that would result in our voting securities immediately prior thereto continuing to represent at least 50% of the total voting power outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, (c) our stockholders approving a plan of complete liquidation or an agreement for the sale or disposition by us of all or substantially all of our assets, or (d) as a result of the election of members to our Board, a majority of the Board consisting of persons who are not members of the Board on March 31, 2024, except in the event that such slate of directors is proposed by a committee of the Board or the Board; provided that if the definition of "Change of Control" in our Stock Incentive Plans or Equity Compensation Plans was more favorable than the definition above, then such definition would control.

If Mr. Patel's employment was terminated pursuant to his death, disability, the end of the initial term (or any renewal term), without "good reason" by Mr. Patel, or by us for "cause", Mr. Patel would have been entitled to all salary accrued through the termination date and no other benefits other than as required under the terms of employee benefit plans in which Mr. Patel was participating as of the termination date. Additionally, any unvested stock options or equity compensation held by Mr. Patel would immediately terminate and be forfeited (unless otherwise provided in the applicable award) and any previously vested stock options (or if applicable equity compensation) would be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable stock incentive plan or equity compensation plan, or award agreement, as such may describe the rights and obligations upon termination of employment of Mr. Patel.

If Mr. Patel's employment was terminated by Mr. Patel for "good reason", or by us without "cause", Mr. Patel would have been entitled to continue to receive the salary due pursuant to the terms of the agreement at the rate in effect upon the termination date for eighteen (18) months, plus the pro rata amount of any discretionary bonus and performance bonus he would have been due for the following eighteen (18) months (with any metrics being extrapolated based on the last four (4) full prior quarters of the Company's operations prior to termination). Additionally, unvested benefits (whether equity or cash benefits and bonuses) would vest immediately upon such termination and any outstanding stock options previously granted to Mr. Patel would vest immediately upon such termination and would be exercisable until the earlier of (A) one year from the date of termination and (B) the latest date upon which such stock options would have expired by their original terms under any circumstances. Mr. Patel would have also received, if he so elected, continued health insurance under COBRA, paid for by the Company, for eighteen (18) months following the termination date (subject to certain rights which reduce such obligation if Mr. Patel was covered by health insurance with a substantially similar level of insurance as prior to the termination).

The agreement contained standard assignment of inventions, indemnification, and confidentiality provisions. Further, Mr. Patel was subject to non-solicitation covenants during the term of the agreement. Mr. Patel is prohibited from competing until May 20, 2026.

***Summary Director Compensation Table***

The following table provides information regarding all compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to each of our independent directors for some portion or all of 2025.

\* Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standard Codification Topic 718. Such grant date fair value does not take into account any estimated forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the grant date fair value of restricted shares and option awards are set forth in the Critical Accounting Estimates as disclosed in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The amount reported in this column reflects the accounting cost for these awards and does not correspond to the actual economic value that may be received by the director upon the vesting of the restricted shares, the exercise of the stock options, or any sale of the underlying shares of our common stock.

\*\* Amounts in this column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards computed in accordance with the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model considers several variables and assumptions in estimating the fair value of stock-based awards. These variables include the per share fair value of the underlying our common stock, exercise price, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected annual dividend yield and the expected stock price volatility over the expected term. We estimate volatility by reference to our historical volatilities. The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield available on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues similar in duration to the expected term of the equity-settled award.

***Independent Director Compensation Policy***

Each independent member of our Board is entitled to receive an annual cash payment of $35,000. The chair of the audit committee of our Board receives an additional $20,000 cash payment. The chairs of our compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committees each receive an additional $10,000 cash payment, respectively. Furthermore, independent directors are entitled to receive an annual grant of shares of our common stock equal to $55,000 in value.

We have also entered into an indemnification agreement with each member of our Board.

Accordingly, given Mr. Ajjarapu's resignation from his roles as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the termination of his employment agreement on May 16, 2025, the terms of Mr. Ajjarapu's Consulting Agreement took effect on that date.

The primary purpose of each Consulting Agreement was to enable the Company to continue to receive critical support and management-related services from Mr. Ajjarapu and Mr. Patel for up to a period of two years after either Mr. Ajjarapu or Mr. Patel, as applicable, is no longer employed by us.

As consideration for Mr. Ajjarapu providing services under his Consulting Agreement, we agreed (i) to reimburse Mr. Ajjarapu for reasonable and necessary costs and expenses associated with Mr. Ajjarapu's services to us, including travel costs, research expenses, copy and production charges, and courier fees, as substantiated by statements submitted to and approved by us and (ii) to issue Mr. Ajjarapu 702,086 shares of our common stock (subject to certain equitable adjustments). On July 25, 2025, we and Mr. Ajjarapu modified his Consulting Agreement pursuant to an addendum whereby Mr. Ajjarapu agreed to continue providing consulting services to us and we agreed to issue an additional 316,617 shares of our common stock to Mr. Ajjarapu at a purchase price of $1.59 per share. We further agreed to file a registration statement providing for the resale of such shares as soon as practicable thereafter.

As consideration for Mr. Patel providing services under his Consulting Agreement, we agreed (i) to reimburse Mr. Patel for reasonable and necessary costs and expenses associated with Mr. Patel's services to us, including travel costs, research expenses, copy and production charges, and courier fees, as substantiated by statements submitted to and approved by us and (ii) to issue Mr. Patel 614,325 shares of our common stock (subject to certain equitable adjustments). On May 20, 2025, Mr. Patel simultaneously resigned from employment with us and agreed to terminate his engagement as a consultant for us. We agreed to issue Mr. Patel 750,000 shares of Common Stock and to issue an additional 250,000 shares of Common Stock if Mr. Patel brings to the Company any bona fide commercial revenue bearing product opportunity resulting in our signing a definitive agreement with the relevant party. Ultimately, Mr. Patel no longer serves as our employee or consultant.

***Independent Contractor Agreements***

On March 13, 2025, in connection with the appointment of Mr. Sherb as our Chief Financial Officer, we entered into an independent contractor agreement with EMS Consulting Services, Inc., an entity controlled by Mr. Sherb (the "*ICA*"). Pursuant to the ICA, Mr. Sherb has agreed to perform, on a full-time basis, all services (a) assigned by our Chief Executive Officer and (b) otherwise necessary or convenient in fulfilling the obligations associated with serving as the Chief Financial Officer of a publicly-traded company with common stock listed on Nasdaq. In exchange, we agreed to pay Mr. Sherb (i) an annual cash fee of $100,000; (ii) an annual grant of shares of our common stock equal to an aggregate amount of $50,000, to be issued as soon as reasonably practicable upon signing the ICA and every year thereafter during the term of the ICA; and (c) an annual discretionary bonus in an amount, if any, determined in the sole discretion of our Board. The ICA will continue until terminated by us or Mr. Sherb on no less than 14 days' prior notice.

 

***Subsidiary Sales***

On April 8, 2025, we entered into (i) a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the "*IPS MIPA*") with Tollo Health, Inc. ("*Tollo*"), pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell all of the Company's membership interests in Integra Pharmacy Solutions LLC ("*IPS*"), one of the Company's previously wholly owned subsidiaries, and (ii) a Stock Purchase Agreement (the "*Bonum SPA*" and together with the IPS MIPA, the "*Agreements*") with Tollo, pursuant to which Tollo agreed to purchase and the Company agreed to sell all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Bonum Health, Inc., another of the Company's previously wholly owned subsidiaries. Suren Ajjarapu, our former Chief Executive Officer and Executive Chairman, and Prashant Patel, our former President, Chief Operating Officer, and Director, each had a beneficial interest in Tollo at the time of the transaction.

As consideration for acquiring IPS and Bonum, Tollo agreed to pay us $5 million in the form of a promissory note bearing interest at the prime rate. The promissory note matures on June 30, 2030. However, Tollo is required to pay 20% of the proceeds of a future equity financing toward repayment of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest owed under the promissory note.

In connection with each of the Agreements, we agreed to retain certain excluded liabilities of IPS and Bonum including all liabilities: (i) related to, in connection with or arising out of any claims, charges, complaints, actions, suits, settlements, hearings, investigations, proceedings, or governmental or regulatory inquiries with respect to IPS or Bonum, respectively, prior to the closing under the applicable agreement; (ii) related to, in connection with or arising out of any breach by us of the applicable agreement or any other agreements and documents required to be delivered by us; (iii) not disclosed by us in accordance with each agreement; (iv) related to any actions threatened or initiated by a governmental entity against IPS or Bonum, respectively; and (v) related to our tax returns or tax matters or the tax returns or tax matters of IPS or Bonum, respectively, for any periods prior to closing under the applicable agreement. The transactions contemplated by the IPS MIPA and the Bonum SPA closed on April 30, 2025.

 

***Indemnification Agreements***

 

On June 27, 2025, we entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Each indemnification agreement provides, among other things and subject to certain limitations in the indemnification agreement, that we will (1) hold harmless and indemnify the director or officer, if he is, or is threatened to be made, a party to a Proceeding (as defined in the indemnification agreement); (2) hold harmless and indemnify the director or officer against all Expenses (as defined in the indemnification agreement) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with a Proceeding to the extent that the director or officer is successful in such Proceeding or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein; (3) reimburse the director or officer for all Expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the director or officer if he is a witness in any Proceeding or receives a subpoena with respect to any Proceeding as a result of his Corporate Status (as defined in the Indemnification Agreement); advance Expenses incurred by a director or officer in connection with any Proceeding; and (4) ensure that the officer or director is covered under any insurance policy maintained by us that provides liability insurance for directors, managers, partners, officers, employees, agents, or trustees of us. The rights provided to each director under the applicable indemnification agreement are in addition to any rights he may have under applicable law and our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws.

*Employment Agreements*

On October 20, 2025, Scienture, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into (i) an amendment to that certain Employment Agreement by and between Scienture, LLC and Dr. Narasimhan Mani, our President and Co-Chief Executive Officer, and (ii) an amendment to that certain Employment Agreement by and between Scienture, LLC and Dr. Shankar Hariharan, our Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer (collectively, the "Employment Amendments"). The Employment Amendments became effective on October 1, 2025, and were previously approved by our Compensation Committee.

Pursuant to the Employment Amendments, Dr. Mani's annual base salary increased from $325,000 to $400,000 and Dr. Hariharan's annual base salary increased from $175,000 to $400,000, each subject to periodic review by our Compensation Committee. Additionally, each of the Employment Amendments modifies Scienture, LLC's severance obligations to Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan, respectively, in the event of termination without Cause or for Good Reason (each as defined in Dr. Mani's and Dr. Hariharan's respective Employment Agreements).

Prior to the Employment Amendments, Scienture, LLC was responsible for providing the following benefits if Scienture, LLC terminated Dr. Mani's or Dr. Hariharan's respective employment without Cause or Dr. Mani or Dr. Hariharan respectively terminated employment for Good Reason: (i) payment equal to (a) 12 months of their annual base salary if their employment terminated during any time other than within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control (as defined in Dr. Mani's and Dr. Hariharan's Employment Agreements) or (b) 1.5 times the sum of their then-current annual salary or the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, their target annual incentive compensation for the then-current year, and their discretionary bonus if his employment terminates within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control (the "Severance Benefit"); (ii) Scienture, LLC would continue to make monthly payments of employer contributions for their health insurance for up to 12 months after termination of employment as if they were still employed by Scienture, LLC during such time (the "COBRA Benefit"); and (iii) Scienture, LLC would continue to make monthly premium payments toward their life insurance policies for up to 12 months after their termination of employment as if they were still employed by Scienture, LLC during such time (the "Insurance Benefit").

The Employment Amendments increase the amount of the Severance Benefit to be paid to Dr. Mani or Dr. Hariharan, respectively, such that they will receive payment equal to (a) 24 months of his annual base salary if their employment terminates during any time other than within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control or (b) 2 times the sum of their then-current annual salary or the annual base salary in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control, their target annual incentive compensation for the then-current year, and their discretionary bonus if their employment terminates within 12 months after the first event constituting a Change in Control. Furthermore, the Employment Amendments provide that Dr. Mani and Dr. Hariharan will receive the COBRA Benefit and the Insurance Benefit for 24 months following termination of employment.

The Employment Amendments also formalized Dr. Mani's current position as our President and Co-Chief Executive Officer and Dr. Hariharan's current position as our Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer.

***Review and Approval of Related-Party Transactions***

Our Audit Committee (which is made up of all independent directors) is tasked with reviewing and approving related-party transactions. In reviewing such transactions, the committee will analyze the following factors, in addition to any other factors the committee deems appropriate, in determining whether to approve a related-party transaction:

(1) fairness of
 the terms for the Company (including fairness from a financial point of view);

(2) materiality of the transaction;

(3) bids / terms for such transaction
 from unrelated parties;

(4) structure of the transaction;

(5) the policies, rules, and
 regulations of the U.S. federal and state securities laws;

(6) the policies of the committee;
 and

(7) interests of each related
 party in the transaction.

The committee will only approve a related party transaction if the committee determines that the terms of the related party transaction are beneficial and fair (including fair from a financial point of view) us and are lawful under the laws of the United States. In the event multiple members of the committee are deemed a related party, the related party transaction will be considered by the disinterested members of our Board in place of the committee.

The committee is prohibited from approving or ratifying any related party transaction whereby we directly or indirectly, including through any subsidiary, extend or maintain credit, arranges for the extension of credit, or renews an extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan to or for any of our directors or executive officers (or equivalent thereof).

In addition, our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, which is applicable to all of our employees, officers, and directors, requires that all employees, officers, and directors avoid any conflict, or the appearance of a conflict, between an individual's personal interests and our interests. A copy of our Code of Ethics and Business Conduct was filed as Exhibit 14.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 26, 2025, and is available on our website at *www.scientureholdings.com/investors*..
