(to Prospectus dated March 29, 2024)

Scilex Holding Company

Up to 13,474,683 Shares of Common Stock

 

 

This prospectus supplement supplements the prospectus dated March 29, 2024 (the “Prospectus”), which forms a part of our registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-275117) for which Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2024 and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 29, 2024. This prospectus supplement is being filed to update and supplement the information in the Prospectus with the information contained in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2024 (the “Quarterly Report”). Accordingly, we have attached the Quarterly Report to this prospectus supplement.

The Prospectus and this prospectus supplement relate to the resale from time to time by the selling stockholders named in the Prospectus (including their permitted transferees, donees, pledgees and other successors-in-interest) (collectively, the “Selling Stockholders”) of up to an aggregate of 13,474,683 shares (the “Resale Shares”) of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), consisting of:

(i) up to 474,683 shares of Common Stock (the “HB Shares”), of which 161,392 shares of Common Stock are held by Cove Lane Onshore Fund, LLC (“Cove Lane”) and 313,291 shares of Common Stock are held by HBC Investments LLC (“HBC”), in each case issued on September 25, 2023, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (as defined and described below); and

(ii) up to 13,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants to purchase Common Stock, having an exercise price of $0.01 per share (such shares issuable upon exercise, the “Penny Warrant Shares” and such warrants, the “Penny Warrants”), issued to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Oramed”) pursuant to the Scilex Oramed SPA (as defined and described below).

On September 21, 2023, we entered into, and consummated the transactions contemplated by that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of such date, between us and Oramed (the “Scilex-Oramed SPA”). Pursuant to the Scilex-Oramed SPA, among other things, on September 21, 2023, we (i) issued to Oramed (A) a senior secured promissory note due 18 months from the date of issuance in the principal amount of $101,875,000 (the “Oramed Note”), (B) a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Closing Penny Warrant”), with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and restrictions on exercisability (as more fully described elsewhere in the Prospectus), and (C) warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 8,500,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Subsequent Penny Warrants” and together with the Closing Penny Warrant, the “Penny Warrants”), each with an exercise price of $0.01 per share and each with restrictions on exercisability (as more fully described elsewhere in the Prospectus), and (ii) caused certain outstanding warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, with an exercise price of $11.50 per share, that we acquired from Sorrento pursuant to the Sorrento SPA (as defined and described elsewhere in the Prospectus) to be transferred to Oramed (the “Transferred Warrants”). See the section in the Prospectus titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—Transactions with Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.” for additional information regarding the Scilex-Oramed SPA and transactions related thereto.

On September 15, 2023, we entered into that certain Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Cove Lane, HBC and Hudson Bay Capital Management LP (“Hudson Bay” and collectively with Cove Lane and HBC, the “Hudson Bay Parties” and each a “Hudson Bay Party”) in connection with a previously contemplated financing with the Hudson Bay Parties. The HB Shares were issued to Cove Lane and HBC pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. See the section in the Prospectus titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Recent Developments—Settlement Agreement” for additional information.


 

Our Common Stock is listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “SCLX”. On August 12, 2024, the last reported sales price per share of our Common Stock was $1.32.

This prospectus supplement updates and supplements the information in the Prospectus and is not complete without, and may not be delivered or utilized except in combination with, the Prospectus, including any amendments or supplements thereto. This prospectus supplement should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus and if there is any inconsistency between the information in the Prospectus and this prospectus supplement, you should rely on the information in this prospectus supplement.

See the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 17 of the Prospectus as well as risks and uncertainties described under similar headings in any amendments or supplements to the Prospectus to read about factors you should consider before buying our securities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus supplement or the Prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus supplement is August 13, 2024

SCILEX HOLDING COMPANY

 

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company”, “Scilex”, “we”, “us”, “our”, and similar terms refer to Scilex Holding Company, a Delaware corporation formerly known as Vickers Vantage Corp. I (“Vickers”), and its consolidated subsidiaries. References to “Legacy Scilex” refer to the private Delaware corporation that is now our wholly owned subsidiary and named Scilex, Inc. (formerly known as “Scilex Holding Company”).

 

On November 10, 2022, we consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 17, 2022 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 12, 2022, together, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Vickers, Vantage Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Vickers, and Legacy Scilex. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the business combination (herein referred to as the “Business Combination” or “reverse recapitalization” for accounting purposes) between Vickers and Legacy Scilex was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy Scilex with Legacy Scilex surviving as Vickers’s wholly owned subsidiary. In connection with the Business Combination, Vickers changed its name from Vickers Vantage Corp. I to Scilex Holding Company.

 

Unless otherwise noted or the context requires otherwise, references to our “Common Stock” refer to our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

 

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

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

 

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

 

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”), as updated by the risk factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part II - Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

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

 

our ability to maintain the listing of our Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market;
our public securities’ liquidity and trading;
our ability to raise financing in the future;
our future use of equity or debt financings to execute our business strategy;
our ability to use cash on hand to meet current and future financial obligations, including funding our operations, debt service requirements and capital expenditures;
the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against us;
our ability to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, employees and key personnel;
our ability to compete effectively in a highly competitive market;
the competition from larger biotechnology companies that have greater resources, technology, relationships and/or expertise;
the ability to protect and enhance our corporate reputation and brand;
the impact from future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes in our industry;

 

ii

 


 

our ability to obtain and maintain regulatory approval of any of our product candidates;
our ability to research, discover and develop additional product candidates;
our ability to grow and manage growth profitably;
our ability to obtain and maintain intellectual property protection and not infringe on the rights of others;
our ability to execute our business plans and strategy;
our ability to prevent, respond to, and recover from a cybersecurity incident;
the effect of global economic and political developments, including the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel;
the impact of COVID-19 and other similar disruptions in the future; and
other factors detailed under the section titled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by the risk factors described in the section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q titled “Risk Factors.

 

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize or should any of the assumptions made by our management prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Some of these risks and uncertainties may in the future be amplified by COVID-19 (or other similar disruptions), and there may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. We do not undertake any obligation to update, add or to otherwise correct any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made, whether as a result of new information, future events, inaccuracies that become apparent after the date hereof or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

SCILEX HOLDING COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

Organization and Principal Activities

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

 

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

 

The Company is currently developing three product candidates, SP-102 (10 mg, dexamethasone sodium phosphate viscous gel), a novel, viscous gel formulation of a widely used corticosteroid for epidural injections to treat lumbosacral radicular pain, or sciatica for which the Company has completed a Phase 3 study (“SP-102” or “SEMDEXA”), SP-103 (lidocaine topical system) 5.4% (“SP-103”), a next-generation, triple-strength formulation of ZTlido, for the treatment of chronic neck pain and for which the Company completed a Phase 2 trial in acute low back pain (“LBP”) in the third quarter of 2023, and SP-104 (4.5 mg, low-dose naltrexone hydrochloride delayed-burst release low dose naltrexone hydrochloride capsules) (“SP-104”), a novel low-dose delayed-release naltrexone hydrochloride being developed for the treatment of fibromyalgia, for which Phase 1 trials were completed in the second quarter of 2022. Since inception, the Company has devoted substantially all of its efforts to the development of SP-102, SP-103 and SP-104, and the commercialization of ZTlido. In 2024, the Company is also devoting its efforts on the commercialization of GLOPERBA and ELYXYB.

 

Sorrento Chapter 11 Filing

 

On February 13, 2023, Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (“Sorrento”), the Company’s then-controlling stockholder, and Sorrento’s wholly-owned direct subsidiary, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Scintilla” and together with Sorrento, the “Debtors”), commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors’ Chapter 11 proceedings are jointly administered under the caption In re Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., et al., Case Number 23-90085 (DRJ) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). While the Company was majority-owned by Sorrento, the Company was not a debtor in the Chapter 11 Cases. Pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement that we entered into with Sorrento on September 21, 2023 (the “Sorrento SPA”), we repurchased shares of our Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock from Sorrento. As a result, Sorrento no longer holds a majority of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock entitled to vote. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a $3.2 million receivable from Sorrento, which was fully reserved. The Company evaluates the collectability of this receivable on a quarterly basis.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the

 

6


 

Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future periods.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that these estimates are reasonable; however, actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Customer Concentration Risk

 

The Company had four customers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, each of which individually generated 10% or more of the Company’s total revenue. These customers accounted for 87% and 86% of the Company’s revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively and individually ranging from 16% to 27% and 11% to 28%, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, these customers represented 94% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable, individually ranging between 17% to 27%. Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company purchased ZTlido inventory from its sole supplier, Itochu Chemical Frontier Corporation (“Itochu”). In November 2023 and February 2024, respectively, the Company started purchasing ELYXYB and GLOPERBA inventories from its sole suppliers, Contract Pharmaceuticals Ltd Canada (CPL) and Ferndale Laboratories, Inc., respectively. This exposes the Company to concentration of customer and supplier risk. The Company monitors the financial condition of its customers, limits its credit exposure by setting credit limits, and has not experienced any credit losses during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Significant Accounting Policies

 

There have been no significant changes to the accounting policies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

Financial assets and liabilities are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The carrying values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate to their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The valuation of the derivative warrant liability for Private Warrants, Firm Warrants and RDO Common Warrants (each as defined below) is outlined in Note 4, utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company has chosen the fair value option for the Convertible Debentures, Oramed Note and FSF Deposit (each as defined below), with the valuation methodologies detailed in Note 7. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the reporting date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are categorized based

 

7


 

upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Hierarchical levels are directly related to the amount of subjectivity with the inputs to the valuation of these assets or liabilities as follows:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

 

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

 

Restricted cash for the periods presented consist of deposits placed in a segregated bank account as required under the terms of the Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of June 27, 2023, between Scilex Pharma and eCapital Healthcare Corp., which is discussed further in Note 7. Restricted cash is recorded as other long-term assets within the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets that together reflect the same amounts shown in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Convertible Debentures, the Oramed Note and FSF Deposit

 

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the Convertible Debentures (as defined in Note 2 “Liquidity and Going Concern” below) that were issued in March and April 2023, as discussed further in Note 7. The Company has also elected the fair value option to account for the Oramed Note (as defined in Note 4 “Fair Value Measurements” below) and for the FSF Deposit (as defined in Note 2 “Liquidity and Going Concern” below) that was issued in June 2024, as discussed further in Note 7. The Company recorded the Convertible Debentures, the Oramed Note and FSF Deposit at fair value upon issuance with changes in fair value recorded as change in fair value of debt and liability instruments in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, which are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Interest expense related to these financial instruments is included in the changes in fair value. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the Convertible Debentures, the Oramed Note and FSF Deposit were expensed as incurred. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the weighted-average interest rates for the short-term loans, including the Convertible Debentures, the Oramed Note and FSF Deposit were 13.56% and 13.55%, respectively.

 

Treasury Stock

 

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

 

2. Liquidity and Going Concern

 

8


 

 

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

 

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

 

On January 8, 2023, the Company entered into a standby equity purchase agreement (the “B. Riley Purchase Agreement” and together with A&R Yorkville Purchase Agreement, the “Standby Equity Purchase Agreements”) with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”). Pursuant to each of the Standby Equity Purchase Agreements, the Company had the right, but not the obligation, to sell to each of Yorkville and B. Riley up to $500.0 million of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) at its request any time during the 36 months following the date on which the registration statement related to each such purchase agreement was initially declared effective by the SEC, subject to certain conditions, which are discussed further in Note 9. As consideration for Yorkville’s and B. Riley’s respective commitment to purchase shares of Common Stock at the Company’s direction, the Company issued 250,000 commitment shares to each of Yorkville (the “Yorkville Commitment Shares”) and B. Riley (the “B. Riley Commitment Shares”). On, and effective as of, February 16, 2024, the Company and B. Riley mutually agreed to terminate the B. Riley Purchase Agreement.

 

On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Yorkville (the “Yorkville SPA”), pursuant to which the Company would issue and sell to Yorkville convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million (the “Convertible Debentures”). Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $25.0 million (for net cash proceeds of $24.0 million) were issued and sold pursuant to the Yorkville SPA, which is discussed further in Note 7. The Company fully repaid the Convertible Debentures in March 2024.

 

On June 27, 2023, Scilex Pharma entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “eCapital Credit Agreement”) with eCapital Healthcare Corp. (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender shall make available loans (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million (the “Facility Cap”). The proceeds of the Revolving Facility will be used for (i) transaction fees incurred in connection with the eCapital Credit Agreement, (ii) working capital needs of Scilex Pharma and (iii) other uses not prohibited under the eCapital Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has an outstanding balance of $17.3 million under the Revolving Facility. See Note 7 for additional discussion of the terms of the eCapital Credit Agreement.

 

On December 22, 2023, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “ATM Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc., Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Sales Agents”). Pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement, the Company may offer and sell (the “Offering”) shares of Common Stock up to $170.0 million (the “ATM Shares”), through or to the Sales Agents as part of the Offering. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares of Common Stock under the ATM Sales Agreement and may suspend offers thereunder at any time. The Offering will terminate upon (i) the election of the Sales Agents upon the occurrence of certain adverse events, (ii) three business days’ advance notice from the Company to the Sales Agents or a Sales Agent to the Company, or (iii) the sale of all $170.0 million of shares of Common Stock thereunder. As of June 30, 2024, the Company sold 92,295 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement for net proceeds of approximately $0.1 million.

 

On June 11, 2024, the Company entered into that certain Commitment Side Letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with FSF 33433 LLC (“FSF Lender”), pursuant to which FSF Lender committed to provide the Company a loan (the “FSF Loan”) in the aggregate amount of $100.0 million (the “Commitment Amount”). The Commitment Amount shall be payable as follows: (i) $85.0 million no later than the date that is 70 days following the date on which the Company receives the Deposit (as defined below) (the “Outside Date” and the funding of the initial $85.0 million, the “Initial Closing”) and (ii) the remaining $15.0 million within 60 days following the Initial Closing (the funding of the second $15.0 million, the “Second Closing”). Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, FSF Lender is required to provide the Company a non-refundable deposit in immediately available funds in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million

(the “FSF Deposit” and the date on which such funds are fully received, the “Deposit Date”), which amount will be creditable towards the $85.0 million required to be funded by FSF Lender at the Initial Closing. The Company received the FSF Deposit on June 18, 2024 and issued to FSF Lender a warrant to purchase up to an aggregate of 3,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) (subject to adjustment for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction) (the “Deposit Warrant”), with an exercise price of $1.20 per share. The Deposit Warrant is immediately exercisable and will expire five years from the date of issuance.

 

As of June 30, 2024, the Company’s negative working capital was $205.0 million, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $6.9 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had operating losses of $35.1 million and cash flows received from operations of $11.7 million. The Company had an accumulated deficit of $552.2 million as of June 30, 2024.

 

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

 

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

 

3. Acquisitions

SP-104 Acquisition

In May 2022, the Company acquired the Delayed Burst Release Low Dose Naltrexone asset and intellectual property rights for the treatment of chronic pain, fibromyalgia and chronic post-COVID syndrome (collectively, the “SP-104 Assets”). Pursuant to the acquisition provisions, the Company is obligated to pay Aardvark Therapeutics, Inc. (“Aardvark”) (i) $3.0 million upon initial approval by the FDA of a new drug application for the SP-104 Assets (which amount may be paid in shares of Common Stock or cash, in the Company’s sole discretion) (the “Development Milestone Payment”) and (ii) $20.0 million in cash, upon achievement of certain net sales by the Company of a commercial product that uses the SP-104 Assets (the “Sales Milestone Payment”). The Company will also pay Aardvark certain royalties in the single digits based on percentages of annual net sales by the Company of a commercial product that uses the SP-104 Assets.

 

The Sales Milestone Payment and sale volume-based future royalties were determined to meet a scope exception for derivative accounting and will not be recognized until the contingencies are realized. The Development Milestone Payment represents a liability, which will be measured at fair value for each reporting period. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contingent consideration associated with Development Milestone Payment was $0.2 million, recorded in the other long-term liabilities.

 

GLOPERBA License Agreement

In June 2022, the Company entered into a license agreement (the “Romeg License Agreement”) with RxOmeg Therapeutics, LLC (a/k/a Romeg Therapeutics, Inc.) (“Romeg”). Pursuant to the Romeg License Agreement, among other things, Romeg granted the Company (a) a transferable license, with the right to sublicense, to (i) commercialize the pharmaceutical product comprising liquid formulations of colchicine for the prophylactic treatment of gout in adult humans (the “Initial Licensed Product” or “GLOPERBA”) in the United States (including its territories) (the “GLOPERBA Territory”), (ii) develop other products comprising the Initial Licensed Product as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (the “Licensed Products”) and commercialize any such products and (iii) manufacture Licensed Products anywhere in the world, solely for commercialization in the GLOPERBA Territory; and (b) an exclusive, transferable license, with a right to sublicense, to use the trademark GLOPERBA and logos, designs,

translations, and modifications thereof in connection with the commercialization of the Initial Licensed Product solely in the GLOPERBA Territory. The Initial Licensed Product, GLOPERBA, was approved and made available in the United States in 2020.

 

As consideration for the license under the Romeg License Agreement, the Company paid Romeg an up-front license fee of $2.0 million, and has agreed to pay Romeg (a) upon the Company’s achievement of certain net sales milestones, certain milestone payments in the aggregate amount of up to $13.0 million, (b) certain royalties in the mid-single digit to low-double digit percentages based on annual net sales of the Licensed Products by the Company during the applicable royalty term under the Romeg License Agreement, and (c) minimum quarterly royalty payments totaling $7.1 million commencing on the first year anniversary of the effective date of the Romeg License Agreement and ending on the later of (i) the expiration of the last-to-expire of the licensed patents covering the Licensed Products in the GLOPERBA Territory or (ii) the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Romeg License Agreement.

In connection with the Romeg License Agreement, the Company recorded an intangible asset for acquired licenses of $5.7 million, which is comprised of the upfront license fee of $2.0 million and deferred consideration of $3.7 million that is the present value of the future minimum royalty payments and immaterial transaction costs. No contingent consideration was recognized as a liability or included in the fair value of the assets as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

 

ELYXYB Acquisition

 

On February 12, 2023, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “ELYXYB APA”) with BioDelivery Sciences International, Inc. (“BDSI”) and Collegium Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Collegium”, and together with BDSI, the “Sellers”) to acquire the rights to certain patents, trademarks, regulatory approvals, data, contracts, and other rights related to ELYXYB and its commercialization in the United States and Canada (the “ELYXYB Territory”).

 

As consideration for the acquisition, the Company assumed various rights and obligations under the asset purchase agreement between BDSI and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of India (“DRL”), dated August 3, 2021 (the “DRL APA”), including an irrevocable, royalty-free, exclusive license to know-how and patents of DRL related to ELYXYB that is necessary or used to exploit ELYXYB in the ELYXYB Territory. No cash consideration was or will be payable to the Sellers for such acquisition; however, the obligations under the DRL APA that were assumed by the Company include contingent sales and regulatory milestone payments and sales royalties. The Company is also obligated to make quarterly royalty payments to DRL on net sales of ELYXYB in the ELYXYB Territory. In April 2023, the Company launched ELYXYB in the U.S. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had ending balances of accrued royalty payables of $0.1 million and $5.0 thousand, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, no sales or regulatory milestone payments had been accrued as there were no potential milestones yet considered probable of achievement.

The Oramed Note

 

In September 2023, the Company issued a senior secured promissory note to Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Oramed”) in the principal amount of $101.9 million (the “Oramed Note”) (see Note 7). The Company elected the fair value option to account for the Oramed Note with any changes in the fair value of the note recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk, if any, which are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. The Company uses a discounted cash flow model to determine the fair value of the Oramed Note based on Level 3 inputs. This methodology discounts the interest and principal payments using a risk-adjusted discount rate. The fair value as of June 30, 2024 was determined to be $75.4 million by applying a discount rate of 30.27%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $4.3 million and $8.1 million in change in fair value of the Oramed Note in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, respectively. The change in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk recorded as a component of other comprehensive income was $1.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

 

FSF Deposit

 

In June 2024, the Company received the FSF Deposit in the aggregate principal amount of $10.0 million from FSF Lender (see Note 2 and Note 7). The Company elected the fair value option to account for the FSF Deposit with any changes in the fair value of the deposit recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company uses a probability weighted expected return model coupled with a Monte Carlo simulation and a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the fair value of the FSF Deposit based on Level 3 inputs. The fair value as of June 30, 2024 was determined to be $11.7 million by applying a discount rate of 35.66%. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded $1.7 million in change in fair value of the FSF Deposit.

 

Convertible Debentures

 

In March and April 2023, the Company issued the Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $25.0 million (see Note 7). The Convertible Debentures were measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The Company used the Binomial Lattice Model valuation technique to measure the fair value of the Convertible Debentures with any changes in the fair value of the Convertible Debentures recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest expense related to the Convertible Debentures is included in the changes in fair value. The Company fully repaid the Convertible Debentures in March 2024.

The Company recorded a loss of $15.3 million and $15.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, attributed to warrant liabilities consisting of the Private Warrants, the Firm Warrants and the RDO Common Warrants (each as defined below). The Company recorded a loss of $0.1 million and $5.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, attributed to warrant liability consisting of the Private Warrants. The Company assumed the private placement warrants from Vickers in November 2022 in connection with the Business Combination (“Private Warrants”). The Company issued the Firm Warrants in March 2024 as part of the Bought Deal Offering (as defined below) and RDO Common Warrants in April 2024 as part of the Registered Direct Offering (as defined below).

 

As of June 30, 2024, the following warrants to purchase Common Stock were outstanding: 3,613,383 Private Warrants, 5,832,653 Firm Warrants and 15,000,000 RDO Common Warrants. The fair value of derivative warrant liabilities related to these warrants was $30.0 million.

Warrant Liability Measurement

 

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

Contingent Consideration Related to SP-104 Acquisition

 

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

 

Upon the achievement of FDA approval for a new drug application for SP-104, the Company will transfer $3.0 million in cash or shares of Common Stock, at the discretion of the Company. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability associated with the Development Milestone Payment was estimated using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow method. Significant unobservable inputs assumptions included the likelihood of receiving FDA approval for SP-104, expected timing for receipt of FDA approval for SP-104, and a discount rate of 10.8%. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of contingent consideration related to the Development Milestone Payment was $0.2 million.

Convertible Debentures

 

On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into the Yorkville SPA pursuant to which the Company would issue and sell to Yorkville Convertible Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million. The Yorkville SPA provided that the Convertible Debentures would be issued and sold at a purchase price equal to 96% of the applicable principal amount in three tranches as follows: (i) $10.0 million upon the signing of the Yorkville SPA, which was funded on March 21, 2023, (ii) $7.5 million upon the filing of a registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC to register the resale by Yorkville of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), which was funded on April 11, 2023 and (iii) $7.5 million at the time such registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, which was funded on April 20, 2023.

 

The Convertible Debentures bore interest at an annual rate of 7.00% and was initially set to mature on December 21, 2023. On October 11, 2023, the Company and Yorkville amended the Convertible Debentures. The Default Conversion Price (as defined therein) was originally set not to fall below $2.00 per share and such floor price has been amended to mean a price per share of Common Stock equal to 95% of the lowest daily VWAP (as defined therein) during the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the conversion date, but not lower than $0.50 per share. The maturity date of the Convertible Debentures was also extended from December 21, 2023 to March 15, 2024. The outstanding principal amount was to be repaid in equal installments that are due every 30 days beginning on May 20, 2023, which is 60 days after the date on which the first Convertible Debenture was issued to Yorkville. The Convertible Debentures provided a conversion right, in which any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal

 

15


 

and any accrued but unpaid interest, may be converted into shares of Common Stock, at a conversion price of $8.00 per share at the option of the holder of the Convertible Debentures.

 

The Company had the option to repay either (i) in cash, with premium equal to 5% in respect of the principal amount of such payment, or (ii) by submitting a notice for an advance under the A&R Yorkville Purchase Agreement, or a series of advances thereunder, or any combination of (i) or (ii) as determined by the Company. In the case of (ii), the proceeds from the shares sold to Yorkville are applied against the outstanding amounts.

 

The Company had the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to redeem, upon five business days’ prior written notice to Yorkville (the “Redemption Notice”), all or any portion of the amounts outstanding under the Convertible Debentures; provided that the trading price of the Common Stock is less than the Conversion Price at the time of the Redemption Notice. The redemption amount shall be equal to the outstanding principal balance being redeemed by the Company, plus the redemption premium of 10% of the principal amount being redeemed, plus all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such redeemed principal amount.

 

The Company elected the fair value option for the Convertible Debentures and recorded the changes in fair value within the consolidated statements of operations at the end of each reporting period. Pursuant to the Yorkville SPA, the Company issued additional Convertible Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million in April 2023 for $14.4 million in net cash proceeds. In April 2023, Yorkville elected to convert $5.0 million of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the first Convertible Debentures issued to Yorkville, resulting in the issuance of 632,431 shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $8.00 per share and reducing the outstanding Convertible Debentures balance by $7.7 million. The Company repaid the remaining $4.4 million of Convertible Debentures during the first quarter of 2024.

Revolving Facility

 

On June 27, 2023, Scilex Pharma entered into the eCapital Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Lender shall make available loans (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30.0 million. The Facility Cap may, at the request of Scilex Pharma and with the consent of the Lender, be increased in increments of $250,000 at such time as the outstanding principal balance under the eCapital Credit Agreement equals or exceeds 95% of the then-existing Facility Cap. The amount available to Scilex Pharma under the Revolving Facility at any one time is the lesser of the Facility Cap and 85% of the “Net Collectible Value” of “Eligible Receivables” (each as defined therein) minus the amount of any reserves or adjustments against receivables required by the Lender, in its discretion.

 

Under the terms of the eCapital Credit Agreement, interest will accrue daily on the principal amount outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate plus 1.5%, based on a year consisting of 360 days, and which shall be payable by Scilex Pharma monthly in arrears, commencing July 1, 2023. The eCapital Credit Agreement provides for an early termination fee of 0.5% of the Facility Cap if Scilex Pharma voluntarily prepays and terminates in full the Revolving Facility prior to the first anniversary of the closing of the Revolving Facility.

 

In connection with the eCapital Credit Agreement, Scilex Pharma and the Lender entered into blocked account control agreements with respect to Scilex Pharma’s collections and eCapital Credit Agreement funding accounts, which permit the Lender to sweep all funds in the collections account to an account of the Lender for application to the outstanding amounts under the Revolving Facility, and to exercise customary secured party remedies with respect to

the eCapital Credit Agreement funding account. All indebtedness incurred and outstanding under the eCapital Credit Agreement will be due and payable in full on July 1, 2026, unless the eCapital Credit Agreement is earlier terminated.

 

The eCapital Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring Scilex Pharma to maintain cash on hand of at least $1.0 million at all times. Scilex Pharma’s obligations under the eCapital Credit Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in Scilex Pharma’s accounts receivable, arising from customers in the ordinary course of business. The eCapital Credit Agreement contains customary events of default and also provides that an event of default includes a change of control of Scilex Pharma and the failure by the Company to issue at least $75.0 million of debt or equity by September 30, 2023, which condition was satisfied by the issuance of the Oramed Note. As of June 30, 2024, Scilex Pharma has an outstanding balance of $17.3 million under the Revolving Facility, which is classified as a long-term liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

On September 21, 2023, Scilex Pharma signed a subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) with the Lender and Acquiom Agency Services LLC (the “Agent”). Pursuant to the Subordination Agreement, the rights and interests of the Lender under the eCapital Credit Agreement would be secured by first priority liens on the ABL Priority Collateral (as defined therein). The ABL Priority Collateral consists of all of the Company’s properties identified in the description of collateral in the UCC-1 Financing Statement filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 27, 2023. The Agent’s rights and interests under the Subsidiary Guarantee, dated as of September 21, 2023, entered into by the Company and each of its subsidiaries with Oramed and the Agent (the “Subsidiary Guarantee”), would be secured by first priority liens on certain other collateral and second priority liens on the ABL Priority Collateral. The Subordination Agreement also includes other standard interlender terms and requires that the Facility Cap (as defined therein) shall not exceed $30.0 million.

 

The Oramed Note

 

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

 

The Oramed Note contains affirmative and negative covenants binding on the Company and its subsidiaries, which restrict, among other things, the Company and its subsidiaries from incurring indebtedness or liens, amending charter and organizational documents, repaying or repurchasing stock, repaying, repurchasing, or acquiring indebtedness, paying or declaring cash dividends, assigning, selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of assets, making or holding

investments, entering into transactions with affiliates, and entering into settlement agreements, in each case as more fully set forth in, and subject to certain qualifications and exceptions set forth in the Oramed Note. The Company was in compliance with all of the covenants as of June 30, 2024.

 

In connection with the Oramed Note, the Company and each of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) entered into a security agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Oramed (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the “Holder”) and the Agent, which acts as the collateral agent for the holders of the Oramed Note. Under this agreement, the Company and the Guarantors granted to the Agent (on behalf of and for the benefit of the holders of the Oramed Note and any Additional Notes as defined thereunder) a security interest in all or substantially all of the properties of the Company and each of the Guarantors. This was done to ensure the timely payment, performance, and full discharge of all obligations under the Oramed Note. The Security Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties and covenants regarding the collateral thereunder, all of which are detailed in the Security Agreement.

 

At issuance, the Company concluded that certain features of the Oramed Note would be considered derivatives that would require bifurcation. In lieu of bifurcating such features, the Company has elected the fair value option for this financial instrument and records the changes in the fair value within the consolidated statements of operations at the end of each reporting period. As of June 30, 2024, the fair value of the Oramed Note was $75.4 million, which is classified as a current liability in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.
