Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed by Scilex Holding Company (the “Company”), the Company issued a Senior Secured Promissory Note, dated as of September 21, 2023, to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Oramed”, and the note, as amended, the “Oramed Note”). Pursuant to the Oramed Note, the Company is required to repay the entire remaining principal balance of the Oramed Note on the Maturity Date, which as of the date hereof is defined as March 21, 2025 (the “Existing Maturity Date”).

On January 21, 2025, the Company entered into an amendment letter with Oramed (the “Oramed Amendment”), pursuant to which, among other things, Oramed agreed to extend the Maturity Date under and as set forth in the Oramed Note from the Existing Maturity Date to December 31, 2025. In consideration of such extension, SCLX Stock Acquisition JV (“SCLX JV”) agreed to deliver to Oramed by deposit/withdrawal at custodian with the Depository Trust Company an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company, held by SCLX JV.

Pursuant to the Oramed Amendment, the parties agreed to amend the definition of “Cash Sweep Financing” in the Oramed Note to remove certain specific exclusions of indebtedness previously present in such definition, and further agreed that prior to Payment in Full of the First Out Priority Obligations (each as defined in that certain Agreement Among Holders (the “Agreement Among Holders”), dated as of October 8, 2024, between Oramed and the other holders of the Tranche B Notes (as defined below)), any prepayment required pursuant to Section 2(g) of the Oramed Note may be waived in Oramed’s sole discretion and, in such case, Oramed shall have the unilateral option to instead direct the Company to prepay the Last Out Holders (as defined in the Agreement Among Holders) and apply such amount to either, in Oramed’s sole discretion, (A) the outstanding principal amount of that certain Tranche B Senior Secured Convertible Note (the “Tranche B Notes”), dated as of October 8, 2024 held by Oramed or (B) the outstanding principal amount of all of the Tranche B Notes in accordance with each Last Out Holder’s Last Out Pro Rata Share (as defined in the Agreement Among Holders) at such time. In addition, the parties agreed to add an additional covenant to the Oramed Note, preventing any increase in compensation or additional incentive equity awards to any officer, director or member of senior management of the Company or the Company’s subsidiaries while the Oramed Note remains outstanding.

The representations and warranties contained in the Oramed Amendment were made only for purposes of such Oramed Amendment and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Oramed Amendment, and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties. Accordingly, the Oramed Amendment is incorporated herein by reference only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Oramed Amendment, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the Company or its business, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The foregoing summary of the Oramed Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Oramed Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 7.01.
