Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On August 16, 2019, the Company published an investor presentation slideshow containing the information attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 (the “Investor Presentation”) and incorporated herein by reference. The Company expects to use the Investor Presentation, in whole or in part, and possibly with modifications, in connection with presentations to investors and others.

The Investor Presentation includes financial information not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“Non-GAAP Financial Measures”). A reconciliation of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to financial information prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), as required by Regulation G, appears in the Investor Presentation. The Company is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of reported Non-GAAP Financial Measures used in the Investor Presentation, among other places, to its comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide investors additional ways to view our operations, when considered with both our GAAP results and the reconciliation to net income and net cash provided by operating activities, which we believe provide a more complete understanding of our business than could be obtained absent this disclosure. We believe the Non-GAAP Financial Measures also provide investors a useful tool to assess shareholder value.

By filing this Current Report on Form 8-K and furnishing the information contained herein, the Company makes no admission as to the materiality of any information in this report that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.

The information contained in the Investor Presentation is summary information that is intended to be considered in the context of the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings and other public announcements that the Company may make, by press release or otherwise, from time to time. The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to publicly update or revise the information contained in this report, although it may do so from time to time as its management believes is warranted. Any such updating may be made through the filing of other reports or documents with the SEC, through press releases or through other public disclosure.

The information presented in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless the Company specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or specifically incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

This presentation is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of any offer to buy any securities, investment product or in ves tment advisory services, including such services offered by SWK Advisors LLC. This presentation does not contain all of the information necessary to make an investm ent decision, including, but not limited to, the risks, fees and investment strategies of investing in life science investments.

Life science securities may rely on milestone payments and/or a royalty stream from an underlying drug, device, or product wh ich may or may not have received approval of the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). If the underlying drug, device, or product does not receive FDA approva l, it could negatively impact the securities, including the payments of principal and/or interest. In addition, the introduction of new drugs, devices, or prod uct s onto the market could negatively impact the securities, since that may decrease sales and/or prices of the underlying drug, device, or product. Changes to Medicare r eim bursement or third party payor pricing could negatively impact the securities, since they could negatively impact the prices and/or sales of the underlying drug, de vic e, or product. There is also risk that the licensing agreement that governs the payment of royalties may terminate, which could negatively impact the securities. There is also the risk that litigation involving the underlying drug, device, or product could negatively impact the securities, including payments of principal and/or interest o n a ny securities. 2

Historical Financing: Narcan Royalty • Narcan is the only FDA approved, intranasal Naloxone product for the treatment of opioid overdose • Narcan is appropriately priced with revenue growth from expanded distribution, not price hikes • Opiant is a publicly traded drug development company that receives a royalty on Narcan for developing the drug’s unique formulation ̶ Opiant’s novel formulation has a faster time to onset and more convenient and safer administration compared with injectable Naloxone • The product was marketed by Adapt Pharma, a private pharmaceutical company founded by former Azur Pharmaceutical executives with a history of strong sales execution • Opiant needed capital to pursue development programs • At time of monetization, Opiant was a thinly traded OTC stock and management believed the share price did not reflect underlying asset value, thus a share offering was not an attractive option • SWK structured a capped royalty that was smaller than competing proposals by larger royalty investors, and allowed Opiant to retain tail economics • In December 2016 SWK funded $13.8mm in exchange for a royalty that was capped at a 1.5x CoC return ̶ On August 8, 2017 upon achieving $25mm in cumulative sales during two consecutive quarters, SWK funded additional $3.8mm with a 1.5x CoC return cap • Narcan sales exceeded forecasts; CoC return cap achieved in February 2018 • SWK retains a residual royalty ranging from 5% to 10% through expiry of Narcan IP 26 REALIZATIONS AND CASE STUDIES

Historical Financing: Galil Medical • Galil is a medical device company that delivers innovative cryotherapy solutions for tumor ablation • In 2014, the privately - held company was on the cusp of accelerating revenue growth, but was not yet cash - flow positive and could not tap traditional financing channels • Galil needed additional capital to run clinical trials and expand its sales force • In December 2014, SWK provided a $12.5mm senior secured term loan structured to delay principal repayment until growth initiatives matured ̶ Term loan was structured at a mid - teens cost of capital with a return cap if Galil was sold in first fifteen months • In late 2015, SWK committed to provide additional financing to support Galil’s proposed acquisition of a competitor ̶ The transaction was not consummated, but SWK’s support permitted opportunistic bid • By early 2016, the growth initiatives were bearing fruit, and in June 2016, Galil was acquired by BTG plc for $84mm plus up to $26mm in earn - outs • The SWK facility gave Galil capital to grow the business and garner a higher acquisition price while allowing the equity owners to capture maximum upside • SWK facility represented 15% LTV of the take out price • SWK generated a 1.3x cash - on - cash return and 20% IRR 27 REALIZATIONS AND CASE STUDIES

Historical Financing: SynCardia • SynCardia manufactures and markets the only FDA - approved artificial heart • SWK’s original thesis: ̶ Device approved in US and EU; positive efficacy in over 1,500 implants ̶ Device reimbursed at $125,000 in US and $70,000 outside the US ̶ Large and untapped market with over 4,000 patients on US heart transplant waitlist ̶ Funding expected to facilitate marketing to achieve break - even level of implants ̶ Discussions with key heart transplant surgeons validated technology and verified need to exist (device implanted upon imminen t r isk of death) ̶ Unique positioning and existing sales thought to provide strategic value exceeding investment • December 2013 SWK invested $10mm in two tranches alongside existing first lien lender ̶ Over the next two years SWK invested additional $4mm in company with Syncardia raising ~$30mm in aggregate during that time span • In late 2015 Syncardia failed to complete an IPO, prompting a funding crisis ̶ SWK purchased co - lender’s first lien position for 58% of par and commenced operational restructuring ̶ Restructuring efforts led to cost cuts and implant pre - sales that preserved liquidity • In 4Q15 SWK wrote down the position from ~$20mm to $12.5mm due to failed IPO and challenges • In May 2016 SWK sold entire position to private equity buyer for $7.2mm cash and 5% share in profits once the PE firm received a 3x CoC return • Key lessons learned: ̶ Disparate equity ownership prohibited capital raise under stressed conditions ̶ SWK underappreciated product’s need for engineering improvements to drive sustainable gross margin and market opportunity ̶ SWK underappreciated controversial nature of product with strategics as well as a large portion of physicians 28 REALIZATIONS AND CASE STUDIES

MISCELLANEOUS

SWK Value Proposition to Partners • SWK’s asset base and nimble structure position it to serve the sub - $20mm financing market ̶ Smaller companies often don’t have financial profile to qualify for traditional financing sources ̶ Companies in this niche often have few options outside of a dilutive equity raise ̶ The IPO market is largely closed to companies of this size requiring expensive and difficult private equity sourcing ̶ Many alternative financing sources have grown too large to care about smaller companies ̶ Some historical financing sources have been acquired by regulated financial institutions that due to regulatory constraints cannot lend to unprofitable companies and prohibit SWK - style transactions ̶ Venture lenders often require principal payback over a shorter period than SWK’s structure • SWK structures financings to preserve liquidity and match a growing company’s revenue profile • SWK provides its borrowers with access to its network of capital markets resources and operators • While SWK focuses on the sub - $20mm market, through its RIA arm and industry relationships, it can access additional capital to finance larger opportunities 30 MISCELLANEOUS

Financing Structures • Structured debt ̶ Primarily first lien senior secured loans, though will selectively evaluate second lien opportunities ̶ Typically include covenants, prepayment penalties, origination and exit fees, and warrant coverage ̶ Provide working capital to support product commercialization and M&A • Royalties ̶ Companies: fund pipeline development & leverage a lower cost of capital for higher return on investment projects ̶ Institutions: capital planning for operating budgets, funding R&D initiatives, & financial asset diversification ̶ Inventors: financial asset diversification, fund start - up company • Synthetic Royalty ̶ Marketer creates a ‘royalty’ by selling an interest in a future revenue stream earned with a single product or basket of prod uct s in exchange for an upfront payment and potential future payments ̶ Ability to structure tiered revenues, reverse tiers, minimum payments, caps, step - downs and buy - out options, similar to a licens e agreement between innovator and marketer • Hybrid Financing ̶ Combination of royalty and revenue - based financings ̶ Can take on many forms, including structured debt and equity investments • Product acquisition ̶ Target legacy products with established revenue trends, minimal marketing and infrastructure requirements 31 MISCELLANEOUS
