NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2023

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the subsidiaries of Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”). For consolidated entities where the Company owns or is exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the Company records net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in its consolidated statements of operations equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2023. Operating results for interim periods are not expected to be indicative of operating results for the Company’s 2023 fiscal year, or any subsequent period. The unaudited interim financial statements included herein reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2023, on February 13, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and its wholly owned direct subsidiary, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Scintilla” and together with the Company, the “Debtors”), commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 proceedings are jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court under the caption In re Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., et al. (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors continue to operate their business in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

On February 28, 2023, the Office of the United States Trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, which was reconstituted on March 28, 2023, June 7, 2023 and July 28, 2023. The purpose of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors is to represent the interests of the Debtors’ unsecured creditors. On April 10, 2023, the U.S. Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, which was reconstituted on April 14, 2023. The purpose of the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders is to represent the interests of the Debtors’ equity security holders.

Nant Arbitration / Mediation

Prior to commencing the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company had engaged in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against NantPharma, LLC (“NantPharma”) relating to breaches of the May 14, 2015 Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and NantPharma related to the development of the cancer drug Cynviloq™ (the “Cynviloq Arbitration”). In April 2019, the Company filed an action in the Los Angeles Superior Court (the “Court”) derivatively on behalf of Immunotherapy NANTibody LLC (“NANTibody”) against NantCell, Inc. (“NantCell”) and Patrick Soon-Shiong, among others, related to alleged breaches of the June 11, 2015 Limited Liability Company Agreement for NANTibody entered into between the Company and NantCell (the “Derivative Action”). The suit alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and seeks, among other things, a declaration that the Assignment Agreement entered into on July 2, 2017, between NantPharma and NANTibody is void and an equitable unwinding of the Assignment Agreement. The suit calls for the restoration of $90.05 million to the NANTibody capital account, thereby restoring its equity method investment in NANTibody to its invested amount as of June 30, 2017 of $40.0 million.

Additionally, in 2020, the Company filed a legal action against Patrick Soon-Shiong in the Court, asserting claims for fraudulent inducement and common law fraud alleging that, among other things, Dr. Soon-Shiong acquired the drug Cynviloq for the purpose of halting its progression to the market. This action is pending.

The Company had also engaged in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against NantCell and NANTibody relating to alleged breaches of the April 21, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between the Company and NantCell and the June 11, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between the Company and NANTibody (the “NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration”).

On December 2, 2022, the arbitrator in the NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages and pre-award interest in the amounts of $156,829,562 to NantCell and $16,681,521 to NANTibody, exclusive of post-award, prejudgment interest, which will accrue at 9% per annum (the “Nant Award”). On December 20, 2022, the arbitrator in the Cynviloq Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages of $125 million to the Company, reflecting the value of lost milestone payments for the

10

approval of Cynviloq for the treatment of breast and lung cancers (the “Cynviloq Award”).

On February 7, 2023, the Court confirmed the Nant Award and issued a 70-day stay of enforcement of the judgment beyond $50 million (i.e., the difference between the amount of the Nant Award and amount of the Cynviloq Award). Following such confirmation, the Company believed that NantCell and NANTibody, in an attempt to satisfy the unstayed $50 million portion of the Nant Award, would imminently take steps to levy its assets, which would cause significant disruption and harm to the Company’s business, including its ability to continue developing life-saving and cutting-edge drugs. To protect the Company’s business and maximize its value, on February 13, 2023, the Company commenced the Chapter 11 Cases.

On March 16, 2023, the Court granted the Company’s motion to confirm the award in the Cynviloq Arbitration over NantPharma’s opposition. On April 7, 2023, the Court entered final judgment (the “Final Judgment”) upon the confirmed award in the Company’s favor in the amount of $127,686,210, which includes arbitration costs and accrued interest on the award since December 20, 2022. The Final Judgment is accruing interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum from March 16, 2023.

Following mediation in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company reached a settlement with NantPharma, NantCell and NANTibody (along with their related parties) (collectively, the “Nant Parties”) regarding the Nant Award, the Cynviloq Award, and other legal causes of action (the “Nant Settlement”)—subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. Under the settlement, either (i) the Company will pay NantCell and NANTIbody in full in cash by August 31, 2023 to satisfy the Nant Award (the “Nant Settlement Payments”) and the Company and the Nant Parties will retain all their other respective claims and causes of action, joint venture interests, and royalty rights and obligations, or (ii) if the Company does not make the Nant Settlement Payments, then the Company and the Nant Parties will mutually release each other from any and all claims and causes of action, the Company will transfer its joint venture interests (and rights related thereto) in certain Nant Parties to the Nant Parties, and the Company will receive $1.5 million from the Nant Parties in exchange for a release of the Company’s royalty rights to PD-L1 (and address certain rights and obligations related thereto). In the interim, the Company and the Nant Parties have agreed to stay all litigation matters until August 31, 2023. A hearing for the Bankruptcy Court to consider approval of the settlement is currently scheduled for August 14, 2023.

Sale Procedures

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 20, 2023, on April 14, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving procedures for the Debtors to conduct a dual-track (i) financing process for the potential raising of debt, equity, or hybrid financing or consummation of a restructuring transaction through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and (ii) marketing process for the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Debtors’ assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, including (x) the Debtors’ equity interests in its non-debtor subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, Scilex Holding Company (“Scilex Holding”), and (y) the Debtors’ other assets. The sale and financing process remains ongoing. As set forth in greater detail below, the Company has entered into a stalking horse purchase agreement for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s equity interests in Scilex Holding.

On April 27, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order providing that the Company may consummate one or more block sales of its shares of common stock of Scilex Holding without requiring any further approval from the Bankruptcy Court, subject to certain other conditions set forth in the order (namely, the prior approval from the Debtors’ lender in their Chapter 11 Cases, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders). As of August 10, 2023, the Debtors have not consummated any such block sales.

On June 12, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court also entered an order approving certain sale procedures for the Debtors to sell certain “de minimis” assets (up to $10 million in the aggregate) on an expedited basis and subject to certain notice and consent requirements (as applicable depending on the type of de minimis asset or stock). As of the date hereof, the Debtors have not consummated any such de minimis asset sales.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Senior DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2023 (the “February 22 Form 8-K”), on February 19, 2023, the Debtors executed that certain Debtor-In-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Senior DIP Term Sheet”) with JMB Capital Partners Lending, LLC (“JMB Capital” or the “Senior DIP Lender”), pursuant to which JMB Capital (or its designees or its assignees) provided the Debtors with a non-amortizing super-priority senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000,000 in term loan commitments (the “Senior DIP Facility”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet.

As previously disclosed in the February 22 Form 8-K, at a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on February 21, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Senior DIP Order”) approving the Senior DIP Facility on an interim basis and providing the Debtors with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Senior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet, the Debtors were authorized to make a single, initial draw of $30,000,000 on the Senior DIP Facility (the “Senior Draw”). The Debtors then negotiated and executed definitive financing documentation, including a Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement

11

(the “Senior DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Senior DIP Facility (collectively with the Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the “Senior DIP Documents”).

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on March 29, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (the “Final Senior DIP Order”) approving the Senior DIP Facility on a final basis and providing the Debtors with access to the remaining $45,000,000 of the Senior DIP Facility (subject to the terms, conditions, and covenants set forth in the Senior DIP Documents), through additional draws of no less than $5,000,000, each upon five business days’ written notice to the Senior DIP Lender (as defined above), and the Debtors and Senior DIP Lender proceeded to enter into the Senior DIP Documents on March 30, 2023. The Senior DIP Facility matured on July 31, 2023 and was repaid in full on August 9, 2023 from proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility (as defined below).

See Note 7 for further discussion of the key terms of the Senior DIP Facility.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Junior DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 10, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, on July 5, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Junior DIP Order”) approving the Junior DIP Facility (as defined below) on an interim basis and providing the Company with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Junior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Junior DIP Term Sheet, the Company was authorized to make (and did make) a single draw of the Junior DIP Facility (the “Junior Draw”), which is subject to a certain intercreditor and subordination agreement entered into by and among the Senior DIP Lender and the Junior DIP Lender (the “Subordination Agreement”). The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Junior DIP Facility on a final basis (the “Final Junior DIP Order”) on July 27, 2023.

On July 5, 2023, the Company executed that certain Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Junior DIP Term Sheet”) with its subsidiary, Scilex Holding (the “Junior DIP Lender”), pursuant to which Scilex Holding (or its designees or its assignees) has provided the Company with a non-amortizing super-priority junior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $20,000,000 (the “Base Amount”), plus (ii) the amount of the commitment fee and the funding fee, each equal to 1% of the Base Amount, plus (iii) the amount of the DIP Lender Holdback (as defined in the Interim Junior DIP Order) (the “Junior DIP Facility”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Junior DIP Term Sheet. The Junior DIP Term Sheet grants to Scilex Holding a right of first refusal to provide any debtor-in-possession financing during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases to the Company occurring after the date of the Interim Junior DIP Order until the Chapter 11 Cases are concluded. In connection with the Junior DIP Term Sheet, Scilex Holding entered into the Subordination Agreement with the Senior DIP Lender, which specifies that the Junior DIP Facility is subordinated in right of payment to the Senior DIP Facility as more fully set forth therein. The Debtors negotiated and executed other definitive financing documentation, including a Junior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Junior DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Junior DIP Facility (collectively with the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the “Junior DIP Documents”).

The Junior DIP Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate of 12.00% payable in kind on the first day of each month in arrears and on the DIP Termination Date (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the interest rate on outstanding DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) would increase by 2.00% per annum. The commitment fee and the funding fee described above shall be payable upon the funding of the DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement), in each case as set forth in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement. Upon repayment or satisfaction of the DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) in whole or in part, the Company shall pay to Scilex Holding in cash an exit fee equal to 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Junior DIP Facility on the date of the Junior Draw.

The Junior DIP Facility matures on the earliest of: (i) September 30, 2023; (ii) the effective date of any Chapter 11 plan of reorganization with respect to the Debtors; (iii) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) the date of the acceleration of the DIP Loans and the termination of the DIP Commitments in accordance with the Junior DIP Documents (each as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement); and (v) the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Further, in no event shall the Junior DIP Facility mature before the maturity date of the Senior DIP Facility obligations as in effect on the date of the Interim DIP Order. Pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the Debtors’ obligations to the Junior DIP Lender under the Junior DIP Facility are subordinated to the obligations of the Debtors to the Senior DIP Lender on the terms and conditions set forth therein.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Replacement DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 10, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, on August 7, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (the “Replacement DIP Order”) approving the Replacement DIP Facility (as defined below) on a final basis.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Oramed” and, in its capacity as lender under the Replacement DIP Facility, the “Replacement DIP Lender”) has agreed to provide the Company with a non-amortizing super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (the “Replacement DIP Facility” and together with the Junior DIP Facility, the “DIP Facilities”), pursuant to definitive financing documentation entered into on August 9, 2023, including a Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Replacement DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Replacement DIP Facility (collectively with the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement, the “Replacement DIP Documents”). Upon entry of the Replacement DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Replacement DIP Documents, the Debtors were authorized to make (and did make) a single draw of the entire amount of the Replacement DIP Facility. The Debtors used the proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility to, among other things, repay the Senior DIP Facility in full on August 9, 2023. After applying approximately $82 million of the proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility to pay off the Senior DIP Facility in full, the remaining proceeds of the Replacement DIP Facility are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Debtors, subject to the budgets contemplated in the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement, the payment of certain statutory fees and allowed professional fees of the Debtors, bankruptcy-related expenses and fees, expenses, interest and other amounts payable under the Replacement DIP Facility.

The Replacement DIP Facility bears interest at a per annum rate equal to 15%, payable in cash on the first day of each month in arrears (and a default interest rate that shall accrue at an additional per annum rate of 3% plus the non-default interest, payable in cash on the first day of each month) and other fees and charges as described in the Replacement DIP Documents. The Replacement DIP Facility is secured by first-priority priming liens on substantially all of the Debtors’ assets (that prime, among other things, the liens under the Junior DIP Facility), subject to certain enumerated exceptions.

The Replacement DIP Facility matures on the earliest of: (i) October 15, 2023; (ii) the effective date of any Chapter 11 plan of reorganization with respect to the Debtors; (iii) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors’ assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) the date of the acceleration of the DIP Obligations in accordance with (and as defined in) the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement; (v) the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the date of termination of the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below) or other definitive documentation related to the subject matter thereof, solely in the event such termination results from a material breach of such documentation by any Loan Party (as defined in the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement) or other seller thereunder; and (vii) the date on which a “Trigger Event” (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Scilex Holding) has occurred. The Replacement DIP Facility does not contain a roll-up or cross-collateralization of prepetition debt or otherwise dictate how prepetition claims will be addressed in a Chapter 11 plan.

The Replacement DIP Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for similar types of agreements. The Debtors have agreed to indemnify the Replacement DIP Lender against certain liabilities arising in connection with the Replacement DIP Facility.

Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement

The Replacement DIP Order also approved that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 7, 2023 (the “Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and Oramed relating to the purchase and sale of (A) 59,726,737 shares of the common stock of Scilex Holding (the “Scilex Common Stock”), (B) 29,057,096 shares of Series A preferred stock of Scilex Holding (the “Scilex Preferred Shares”), which constitutes one fewer Scilex Preferred Share (the “Remaining Preferred Share”) than all of the issued and outstanding Scilex Preferred Shares; and (C) warrants exercisable for 4,490,617 shares of Scilex Common Stock (“Scilex Warrants”), of which 1,386,617 Scilex Warrants are ”public warrants” and 3,104,000 Scilex Warrants are “private placement” warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of the special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) that merged with Scilex Holding for its initial business combination and which the Company acquired from the SPAC sponsor (“Sponsor”) in accordance with the terms of a warrant transfer agreement between the Company and the Sponsor ((A), (B) and (C) collectively, the “Scilex Purchased Securities”). The sale of the Scilex Purchased Securities would be conducted pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Pursuant to the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement, Oramed agreed to buy, and the Company agreed to sell (following an auction of the Scilex Purchased Securities (the “Auction”) that is scheduled to commence on August 14, 2023 (if another qualified bidder emerges) and subject to further Bankruptcy Court approval in the form of a sale order (the “Sale Order”)) the Scilex Purchased Securities for a purchase price (subject to the submission of higher or otherwise better offers in accordance with the approved procedures for the Auction) of $105 million (the “Purchase Price”) (which purchase price shall consist of a credit bid on a dollar-for-dollar basis in respect of the full amount of outstanding obligations as of the closing date under the Replacement DIP Facility, with the

13

remaining balance to be paid in cash to the Company). The Company has also granted Oramed an option in the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase up to 2,259,058 additional shares of Scilex Common Stock held in abeyance for the benefit of certain holders of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option Shares”). Such option will be exercisable for a period of 30 days after the Company notifies Oramed that the Company no longer holds all or part of such Option Shares in abeyance and can freely transfer such Option Shares to Oramed. The purchase price per Option Share payable by Oramed in connection with the exercise of such option shall be $1.13 per Option Share. The sale of the Scilex Purchased Securities by the Company to Oramed is subject to the Auction and a further order from the Bankruptcy Court approving such sale before such purchase and sale becomes a final agreement between the parties thereto. The Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement also contained certain stalking horse protections (the “Stalking Horse Protections”), consisting of (A) a break-up fee payable to Oramed of $3,412,500 and (B) reimbursement of costs and expenses of external counsel up to $1 million (to the extent not paid under the Replacement DIP Facility), in each case, payable to Oramed one business day following the closing of an Alternative Transaction (as defined in the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement, being a sale of any portion of the Scilex Purchased Securities to a party other than Oramed or its affiliate(s)) if the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement is or has been terminated in certain circumstances. Payments pursuant to the Stalking Horse Protections shall be treated as an allowed superiority administrative expense claim in the Debtors’ bankruptcy case pursuant to Section 503(b)(1) and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Stalking Horse Protections were approved in the Replacement DIP Order and are not subject to any further approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

Automatic Stay

Subject to certain specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Petitions automatically stayed most judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to pre-petition claims. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

Executory Contracts

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, amend or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors in this document, including, where applicable, a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease of the Debtors, is qualified by any overriding rejection rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code. As of June 30, 2023, no motions were filed with the Bankruptcy Court (and none remain on the Bankruptcy Docket) to assume, amend or reject certain executory contracts; the Debtors did, however, file certain agreed stipulations to reject certain unexpired leases, which the Bankruptcy Court approved and entered on April 13, 2023 and April 24, 2023.

See Note 10 for further discussion of the rejected leases.

Claims Reconciliation

The Debtors have filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the Debtors, subject to the assumptions filed in connection therewith. These schedules and statements may be subject to further amendment or modification after filing. Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, certain holders of pre-petition claims that are not governmental units were required to file proofs of claim by June 26, 2023 (the "General Bar Date"), the general claims bar date. Governmental units are required to file proofs of claim by August 12, 2023.

As of the General Bar Date, approximately 358 proofs of claim have been filed against the Debtors. This includes duplicate and amended claims. The Debtors are in the process of reviewing, investigating, and reconciling proofs of claims filed against the Debtors with the amounts reflected in their books and records. The Debtors will continue the claims reconciliation process and object, as necessary, to asserted claims, including on the basis that they have been amended or superseded by subsequently filed proofs of claims, are without merit, have already been paid, are overstated or should be adjusted or expunged for other reasons. As a result of this process, the Debtors may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to liabilities subject to compromise. As part of its ongoing review, except to the extent otherwise disclosed, the Company is not aware of any claims that may require a material adjustment to the accounts and balances as reported as of June 30, 2023.

Listing

On February 13, 2023, the Company received written notice (the “Delisting Notice”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101,

14

5110(b) and IM-5101-1, the staff of Nasdaq had determined that the Company’s common stock would be delisted from Nasdaq, effective February 23, 2023. In the Delisting Notice, the staff of Nasdaq referenced the Chapter 11 Cases and associated public concerns raised by them, concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders and concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. In accordance with the Delisting Notice, trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq was suspended at the opening of business on February 23, 2023, and at such time, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the Pink Open Market under the symbol “SRNEQ”.

Use of Estimates

To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adoption of ASC 852

Beginning on the Petition Date, the Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing the consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for the periods subsequent to the Petition Date and up to and including the period of emergence from Chapter 11, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding are recorded as Reorganization items, net in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, prepetition obligations that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 process have been classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023 as liabilities subject to compromise. These liabilities are reported at the amounts the Company anticipates will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. See Note 14 and Note 15 for more information.

Convertible Debentures

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the Scilex Holding Convertible Debentures (as defined in Note 7). The Company recorded the Convertible Debentures at fair value upon issuance. The Company records changes in fair value in the consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk which, if present, will be recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Interest expense related to the Convertible Debentures 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 were expensed as incurred.

Customer Concentration Risk

Scilex Holding had three customers during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, each of which individually generated 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated gross product revenue. These customers accounted for 88% and 85% of the Company’s consolidated gross product revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, individually ranging from 24% to 32% and 22% to 32%, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, these customers represented 81% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable, individually ranging from 21% to 30%. Additionally, during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Scilex Holding purchased inventory from its sole supplier, Itochu Chemical Frontier Corporation. This exposes Scilex Holding to concentration of customer and supplier risk. Scilex Holding monitors the financial condition of its customers, limits its credit exposure by setting credit limits, and has not experienced any credit losses during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Inventory

As of June 30, 2023, net inventory was $9.7 million, comprised of $3.0 million of finished goods and $6.7 million of raw materials and supplies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the standard beginning January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

2. Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying 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. The Company has negative working capital and recurring losses from operations, recurring negative cash flows from operations and substantial cumulative net losses to date. The Company expects to incur significant professional fees and other costs in connection with, and throughout, the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects to continue operations in the normal course for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases. To ensure ordinary course operations, the Company obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court for certain “first day” motions to continue its ordinary course operations after the filing date. The Company also received final approval from the Bankruptcy Court for $75.0 million of financing from JMB Capital Partners Lending, LLC, which provided it with immediate liquidity so that the Company could continue operating its business as usual during the Chapter 11 Cases and pay the costs and professional fees associated therewith, although the Company plans to lower its operating budget and further reduce the scale of its operations in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. In July 2023, the Company received final approval from the Bankruptcy Court for $20.0 million of financing from Scilex Holding, for additional liquidity during the Chapter 11 Cases. In August 2023, the Company received final approval from the Bankruptcy Court for $100.0 million of financing from Oramed in the form of the Replacement DIP Facility, which was used to repay the Senior DIP Facility in full and will be used for additional liquidity during the Chapter 11 Cases.

However, for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s operations and ability to develop and execute its business plan, its financial condition, liquidity and its continuation as a going concern are subject to a high degree of risk and uncertainty associated with the Chapter 11 Cases. The outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases is dependent upon factors that are outside of the Company’s control, including actions of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company can give no assurances that it will be able to secure additional sources of funds to support its operations, or, if such funds are available to the Company, that such additional financing will be sufficient to meet its needs.

As such, management cannot conclude that such plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As a result, management has concluded that the aforementioned conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable, the Company may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of its product candidates. The Company may also seek collaborators for one or more of its current or future product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would result. If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict the Company’s ability to operate its business.

The Failure of Silicon Valley Bank

On March 14, 2023, the Company regained access to the full amount of its cash that was deposited with SVB.

Marketable Investments

As disclosed in Note 4, the Company holds 20,422,124 shares of Class A Common Stock of Celularity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELU) (“Celularity”). The shares held by the Company are measured at fair value at each reporting period based on the closing price of Celularity’s common stock on the last trading day of each reporting period.

Convertible Debentures

In March and April 2023, Scilex Holding issued the Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $25.0 million (see Note 7). The Convertible Debentures are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. Scilex Holding uses 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. As of June 30, 2023, Scilex Holding recorded $3.7 million in change in fair value of the Convertible Debentures. A summary of inputs used in valuing the Convertible Debentures is as follows:

17

	June 30, 2023
Risk -Free Rate		5.29	%
Corporate Bond Yield		16.33	%
Coupon Interest Rate		7.0	%
Volatility		42.0	%
Dividend Yield		0.0	%
Conversion Price	$	8.00

Contingent Consideration

The Company has included $52.2 million of contingent consideration – non-current, associated with its acquisition of ACEA Therapeutics, Inc. (“ACEA”), within liabilities subject to compromise on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded no loss on contingent consideration. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $3.8 million related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration associated with its acquisition of ACEA. Prior to this obligation being included in liabilities subject to compromise, the Company assessed the fair value of contingent consideration using a discounted cash flow method combined with a Monte Carlo simulation model. Significant Level 3 assumptions used in the measurement included revenue projections, a discount rate of 20.4% and estimated probabilities of successful commercialization.

Changes in estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities since December 31, 2022 are as follows:

(in thousands)	Fair Value
Beginning Balance at December 31, 2022	$	49,346
Change in fair value measurement		3,800
Ending Balance at June 30, 2023	$	53,146

Derivative liabilities

In connection with its business combination with Vickers Vantage Corp. I, a special purpose acquisition company, in November 2022, Scilex Holding assumed certain private placement warrants (the “Private Warrants”), which are revalued at each subsequent balance sheet date, with fair value changes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the value of these warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The Company recognized a loss on derivative liabilities related to the Private Warrants of $20 thousand and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The Company recorded a loss on derivative liabilities of $2.7 million and a gain on derivative liabilities of $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which related to the compound derivative liabilities associated with the senior secured notes issued by Scilex Pharma in September 2018, which were repaid and fully extinguished in September 2022 (the “Scilex Notes”). The fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the Scilex Notes was estimated using the discounted cash flow method combined with a Monte Carlo simulation model. Significant Level 3 assumptions used in the measurement included a 6.1% risk adjusted net sales forecast and an effective debt yield of 21.5%.

The following table includes a summary of the derivative liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the six months ended June 30, 2023:

7. Debt

Senior DIP Facility

On February 21, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Interim Senior DIP Order approving the Senior DIP Facility on an interim basis and providing the Debtors with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Senior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet, the Debtors were authorized to make an initial draw of $30,000,000 on the Senior DIP Facility. The Debtors then negotiated the Senior DIP Documents, including the Senior DIP Credit Agreement.

On March 29, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Final Senior DIP Order approving the Senior DIP Facility on a final basis and providing the Debtors with access to the remaining $45,000,000 of the Senior DIP Facility (subject to the terms, conditions, and covenants set forth in the Senior DIP Documents), through additional draws of no less than $5,000,000, each upon five business days’ written notice to the Senior DIP Lender, and the Debtors and Senior DIP Lender proceeded to enter into the Senior DIP Documents on March 30, 2023. Among other terms, the Senior DIP Facility bore interest at a per annum rate equal to 14% payable in cash on the first day of each month in arrears (and a default interest rate that shall accrue at an additional per annum rate of 3% plus the non-default interest, payable in cash on the first day of each month). The Debtors were required to pay to the Senior DIP Lender a commitment fee equal to 2.5% of the total amount of the Senior DIP Commitment (which was paid out of the Senior Draw), a funding fee equal to 2.5% of the amount of each draw and upon repayment or satisfaction of the Senior DIP Loans (in whole or in part), an exit fee equal 7% of the total amount of the Senior DIP Commitments and other fees and charges as described in the Senior DIP Documents. The Senior DIP Facility was secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Debtors’ unencumbered assets, subject to certain enumerated exceptions, and second-priority liens on those assets of the Debtors that are encumbered by certain permitted liens (as set forth in the Final Senior DIP Order).

As of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding principal balance on the Senior DIP Facility was $75.0 million, which is included under current portion of debt in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded commitment and funding fees totaling $1.1 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Upon the maturity of the Senior DIP Facility on July 31, 2023, the Company was in default under the Senior DIP Facility as a result of the Company’s failure to repay the Senior DIP Facility upon maturity. On August 9, 2023, however, the Company repaid the Senior DIP Facility in full from proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility, curing such default.

As discussed in Note 1, subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company entered into, and made full draws under, the Junior DIP Facility and the Replacement DIP Facility.

Scilex Holding Convertible Debentures

On March 21, 2023, Scilex Holding entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”) pursuant to which Scilex Holding would issue and sell to Yorkville convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million (the “Convertible Debentures”). The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that the Convertible Debentures will 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 Securities Purchase Agreement, 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 Scilex Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures under the Securities Act, and (iii) $7.5 million at the time such registration statement is declared effective by the SEC.

The Convertible Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 7.00% and will mature on December 21, 2023. The outstanding principal amount is 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 provide a conversion right, in which any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal and any accrued but unpaid interest, may be converted into shares of Scilex Common Stock, at a conversion price of $8.00 per share, at the option of the holder of the Convertible Debentures.

Scilex Holding has 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 amended and restated standby equity purchase agreement between Scilex Holding and Yorkville (the “A&R Yorkville Purchase Agreement”), or a series of Yorkville advances, or any combination of (i) or (ii) as determined by the Scilex Holding. In case of (ii), the proceeds from the shares sold to Yorkville are applied against the outstanding amounts.

Scilex Holding has 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 Scilex Holding, 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.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement with Yorkville, Scilex Holding 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 Scilex Common Stock at a conversion price of $8.00 per share and reducing the outstanding Convertible Debentures balance by $7.7 million. Scilex Holding repaid $1.3 million of Convertible Debentures in June 2023. Interest expense related to the Convertible Debentures and included in the changes in fair value was $288,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Scilex Pharma Revolving Facility

On June 27, 2023, Scilex Pharma entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “eCapital Credit Agreement”) with eCapital Healthcare Corp. (the “Lender”). The eCapital Credit Agreement provides that the Lender shall make available to Scilex Pharma revolving loans (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30,000,000 (the “Facility Cap”). 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” (in each case, as defined in the eCapital Credit Agreement) 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 1.50%, 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 0.50% 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.

The eCapital Credit Agreement provides that Scilex Pharma and Lender shall enter into a blocked account control agreement with respect to Scilex Pharma’s collections account, which permits the Lender to sweep all funds in such collections account to an account of the Lender for application to the outstanding amounts under the Revolving Facility. 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.

22

Scilex Pharma’s obligations under the eCapital Credit Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in Scilex Pharma’s accounts receivable, related deposit accounts, and in the other “Collateral” as defined in the eCapital Credit Agreement. In addition, Scilex Holding has guaranteed the payment and performance obligations of Scilex Pharma under the eCapital Credit Agreement by executing a guaranty agreement, dated as of June 27, 2023.

The eCapital Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties and various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to facilities of this type, including covenants that, among other things, will limit or restrict the ability of Scilex Pharma, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on their assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, or make investments. The eCapital Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant requiring Scilex Pharma to maintain cash on hand in “Controlled Deposit Accounts” (as defined in the eCapital Credit Agreement) plus availability under the Revolving Facility of at least $1,000,000 at all times.

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 Scilex Holding’s failure to issue at least $75,000,000 of debt or equity by September 30, 2023. The events of default under the eCapital Credit Agreement are subject to customary thresholds and grace periods as set forth in the eCapital Credit Agreement.

Subject to certain notice requirements and other conditions, upon the occurrence of an event of default, commitments may be terminated and all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility may become immediately due and payable; however, where an event of default arises from certain insolvency events, the commitments shall automatically and immediately terminate and all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility shall become immediately due and payable.

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 the Borrower and (iii) other uses not prohibited under the eCapital Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, Scilex Pharma has an outstanding balance of $15.9 million under the Revolving Facility, which is classified as current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company may be named as a defendant in one or more lawsuits. Other than as set forth below, the Company is not a party to any outstanding material litigation and management is currently not aware of any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are deemed to be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

On April 3, 2019, the Company filed two legal actions against, among others, Patrick Soon-Shiong and entities controlled by him, asserting claims for, among other things, fraud and breach of contract, arising out of Dr. Soon-Shiong’s purchase of the drug Cynviloq™ from the Company in May 2015. The actions allege that Dr. Soon-Shiong and the other defendants, among other things, acquired the drug Cynviloq™ for the purpose of halting its progression to the market. Specifically, the Company has filed:

•An arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles, California, against NantPharma, LLC (“NantPharma”), and its Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Soon-Shiong, related to alleged fraud and breaches of the Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated May 14, 2015, entered into between NantPharma and the Company, filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 7, 2015. On May 24, 2019, NantCell, Inc., Dr. Soon-Shiong and NANTibody’s General Counsel Charles Kim filed a motion in the Los Angeles Superior Court (the “Court”) to stay or dismiss the Company’s arbitration demand. On October 9, 2019, the Court denied the motion to stay or dismiss the arbitration demand, and the arbitration continued against NantPharma (the “NantPharma Arbitration”). On March 5, 2020, the Company filed a legal action against Dr. Soon-Shiong in the Court, asserting claims for fraudulent inducement and common law fraud, arising out of Dr. Soon-Shiong’s purchase of the drug Cynviloq™ from the Company in May 2015. The action alleges that, among other things, Dr. Soon-Shiong acquired the drug Cynviloq™ for the purpose of halting its progression to the market. In connection with filing this civil action in the Court, where the Company will have the right to a jury trial against Dr. Soon-Shiong, the Company dismissed Dr. Soon-Shiong from the NantPharma Arbitration; and

•An action in the Court derivatively on behalf of NANTibody against NantCell, Inc., NANTibody Board Member and NantCell, Inc., Chief Executive Officer Patrick Soon-Shiong, and NANTibody officer Charles Kim, related to several breaches of the June 11, 2015 Limited Liability Company Agreement for NANTibody entered into between the Company and NantCell, Inc. The suit also alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and seeks, inter alia, a declaration that the Assignment Agreement entered into on July 2, 2017, between NantPharma and NANTibody is void and an equitable unwinding of the Assignment Agreement. The suit calls for the restoration of $90.05 million to the NANTibody capital account, thereby restoring the Company’s equity method investment in NANTibody to its invested amount as of June 30, 2017 of $40.0 million. On May 24, 2019, NantCell, Inc. and Dr. Soon-Shiong filed a cross-complaint against the Company and Dr. Henry Ji, seeking unspecified damages, as well as additional punitive damages and specific performance, related to alleged fraud, alleged breaches of the Exclusive License Agreement for certain antibodies (dated June 11, 2015 and entered into between NANTibody, LLC and the Company), and alleged tortious interference with contract. On May 24, 2019, NANTibody and NantPharma filed a new complaint in the action against the Company and Dr. Henry Ji, seeking unspecified damages, as well as additional punitive damages and specific performance, related to alleged fraud, alleged breaches of the Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement, alleged breaches of the Exclusive License Agreement for certain antibodies (dated April 21, 2015 and entered into between NantCell, Inc. and the Company), and alleged tortious interference with contract. On July 8, 2019, the Company and Dr. Henry Ji filed motions to compel the cross-complaint and new action to arbitration. On October 9, 2019, the Court granted the motions to compel to arbitration all of the claims brought by NANTibody, NantCell, Inc. and NantPharma, and denied the motions to compel as to the claims brought by Dr. Soon-Shiong. Subsequently, NANTibody, NantCell, Inc., and NantPharma have re-filed their claims in arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (the “NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration”). On May 4, 2020, the Company filed counterclaims against NANTibody and NantCell related to breaches of the April 21, 2015 and June 11, 2015 Exclusive License Agreements. The claims against Dr. Soon-Shiong were stayed pending resolution of the claims filed in arbitration.

On December 2, 2022, the arbitrator in the NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration issued an award (the “Antibody Award”) granting contractual damages and pre-award interest in the amounts of $156,829,562 to NantCell and $16,681,521 to NANTibody, exclusive of post-award, prejudgment interest, which will accrue at 9% per annum. The award also held that the Company has no further obligations under the Exclusive License Agreement with NANTibody. The Exclusive License Agreement with NantCell remains in effect only with respect to one anti-PD-L1 antibody that previously was delivered by the Company to NantCell. The Company has no further obligation to contribute any materials or know-how to NantCell with respect to that antibody but will receive potential future royalties on future net sales. The Company continues to hold 40% of the outstanding equity of NANTibody. The award does not resolve the additional legal proceedings brought by the Company against Patrick Soon-Shiong and entities controlled by him, which remain pending. On December 21, 2022, NantCell and NANTibody filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court a petition to confirm the

25

NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration award. On January 16, 2023, the Company filed in the Court a petition to vacate the Antibody Award. On February 7, 2023, the Court granted the Nant entities’ petition, entered judgment upon the Antibody Award and ordered the Company to pay to the Nant entities the previously disclosed amounts awarded in the Antibody Award.

On December 20, 2022, the arbitrator in the NantPharma Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages of $125.0 million to the Company, reflecting the value of lost milestone payments for the approval of Cynviloq for the treatment of breast and lung cancers. The Company filed a petition to confirm the award with the Los Angeles Superior Court on February 2, 2023. NantPharma filed an opposition motion to vacate the award on February 13, 2023. On March 16, 2023, the Court granted the Company’s motion to confirm the award in the NantPharma Arbitration over NantPharma’s opposition. On April 7, 2023, the Court entered final judgment (“Final Judgment”) upon the confirmed award in favor of the Company in the amount of $127,686,209.93, which includes arbitration costs and accrued interest on the award since December 20, 2022. The Final Judgment is accruing interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum, from March 16, 2023. On April 17, 2023, the Court ordered Patrick Soon-Shiong, to appear, on behalf of NantPharma, before the Court on May 31, 2023, to furnish information to aid the Company in the enforcement of its Final Judgment. On April 18, 2023, the Court issued a writ of execution, which the Company may use, other things, to begin the process of levying NantPharma’s bank account(s). On April 18, 2023, the Court also issued an Abstract of Judgment, which the Company may use to perfect a judgment lien against NantPharma’s real property.

On February 6, 2023, the Company applied ex parte to the Court for a stay of enforcement of the judgment entered upon the Antibody Award until the Company is procedurally able to seek an offset of the judgment entered upon the Antibody Award by the amount of the Final Judgment that the Company has petitioned the Court to confirm and enter judgment upon. The Nant Entities opposed the Company’s ex parte application.

On February 7, 2023, the Court granted the Company’s ex parte application in part. The Court stayed enforcement of the Antibody Award judgment for seventy days only to the extent the Antibody Award judgment exceeds the approximately $50.0 million difference of the amounts of the Antibody Award and the Final Judgment.

Following mediation in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company reached a settlement with NantPharma, NantCell, and NANTibody (along with their related parties) (collectively, the “Nant Parties”) regarding the Nant Award, the Cynviloq Award, and other legal causes of action (the “Nant Settlement”)—subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. Under the settlement, either (i) the Company will pay NantCell and NANTIbody in full in cash by August 31, 2023 to satisfy the Nant Award (the “Nant Settlement Payments”) and the Company and the Nant Parties will retain all their other respective claims and causes of action, joint venture interests, and royalty rights and obligations, or (ii) if the Company does not make the Nant Settlement Payments, then the Company and the Nant Parties will mutually release each other from any and all claims and causes of action, the Company will transfer its joint venture interests (and rights related thereto) in certain Nant Parties to the Nant Parties and the Company will receive $1.5 million from the Nant Parties in exchange for a release of the Company’s royalty rights to PD-L1 (and address certain rights and obligations related thereto). In the interim, the Company and the Nant Parties have agreed to stay all litigation matters until August 31, 2023. A hearing for the Bankruptcy Court to consider approval of the settlement is currently scheduled for August 14, 2023.

The Company has recorded an accrued legal settlement in the consolidated balance sheet of $176.6 million and $174.8 million, including post-award interest, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, relating to the Final Judgment. The accrued legal settlement has been classified as liabilities subject to compromise as of June 30, 2023 (see Note 14).

Even if the Company successfully reorganizes through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, pending litigation brought by the Company against other parties would generally continue after the Chapter 11 Cases, unless specifically released by the Company (including the potential release of claims described above).

For a discussion of the Company’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, see Note 1.

On May 26, 2020, Wasa Medical Holdings filed a putative federal securities class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 3:20-cv-00966-AJB-DEB, against the Company, Dr. Henry Ji and its SVP of Regulatory Affairs, Mark R. Brunswick, Ph.D. The action alleges that the Company, Dr. Ji and Dr. Brunswick made materially false and/or misleading statements to the investing public by publicly issuing false and/or misleading statements regarding STI-1499 and its ability to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and that such statements violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The suit seeks to recover damages caused by the alleged violations of federal securities laws, along with the plaintiffs’ reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the lawsuit, including counsel fees and expert fees. On June 11, 2020, Jeannette Calvo filed a second putative federal securities class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 3:20-cv-01066-JAH-WVG, against the same defendants alleging the same claims and seeking the same relief. On February 12, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California issued an order consolidating the cases and appointing a lead plaintiff, Andrew Zenoff (“Plaintiff”), and lead counsel. On April 5, 2021, Plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint in accordance with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California’s scheduling order. Pursuant to that scheduling order, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss on May 20, 2021 and Plaintiff filed its opposition to the motion on July 2, 2021. The defendants’ reply was filed on August 4, 2021. On or about November 18, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California issued an order granting the motion to dismiss with leave to amend. On November 30, 2021, Plaintiff filed a first amended consolidated complaint. On December 30, 2021, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the first amended consolidated complaint. Pursuant to a stipulated scheduling order, the defendants filed their opposition to the motion on February 7, 2022, and the Plaintiff filed its reply on February 28, 2022. On April 11, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California issued an order granting the motion to dismiss with leave to file an amended complaint by April 22, 2022. Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint by April 22, 2022. On June 2, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California directed the clerk of the court to enter judgment in favor of defendants and close the case. On June 3, 2022, judgment was entered in favor of defendants, and the case was closed. On June 30, 2022, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Case No. 22-55641). On October 3, 2022, Plaintiff/Appellant filed an opening brief. On December 2, 2022, the defendants/appellees’ filed their answering brief. On January 23, 2023, Plaintiff/Appellant filed his reply brief. The Company is defending these matters vigorously.

On July 26, 2021, Sachin Chaudhari filed a verified stockholder derivative complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 0723211, against Dr. Ji, Mr. Brunswick, and the Company’s Board of Directors as defendants, and against the Company as a nominal defendant. The action alleges, among other things, that defendants breached their fiduciary duties, violated Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, engaged in waste and were unjustly enriched in connection with the alleged false and misleading statements referenced above. The suit seeks to recover on behalf of the Company those damages caused by the alleged breaches of duty and related claims, along with the plaintiffs’ reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the lawsuit, including counsel fees and expert fees. On July 27, 2021, Michael Sabatina filed a verified stockholder derivative complaint in the Delaware Chancery Court, Case No. 2021-0654 against Dr. Ji and Mr. Brunswick as defendants and against the Company as a nominal defendant alleging the same general claims and seeking the same general relief. Both of these derivative cases have been stayed by their respective courts pending resolution of the motion to dismiss the federal securities class action described above. The Company is defending these matters vigorously.

In April 2023, the Company and the respective landlords for the premises leased by the Company located at 4930 Directors Place, 9151 Rehco Road and 4690 Executive Drive, San Diego, California, 92121, executed stipulations and agreed orders, which the Bankruptcy Court approved, pursuant to which the Company and each such landlord agreed to reject the respective lease agreements. In conjunction with signing the leases, the Company established a cash collateral account and issued letters of credit to the landlords for a total of $4.1 million, which was drawn by the landlords upon rejection of the leases. The cash collateral drawn was recorded as lease termination cost. The Company derecognized the related right-of-use assets and liabilities, which resulted in a gain of $0.6 million. The lease termination cost and the gain on derecognition were included in Reorganizations items, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

The termination of the 4930 Directors Place lease resulted in remeasurements of four other leases as their lease terms were previously extended to be coterminous with the lease end date for the 4930 Directors Place lease. As the 4930 Directors Place lease was terminated, the lease terms of the other four leases reverted back to their original terms. The related remeasurements resulted in a decrease to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $25.8 million.

In April 2023, Scilex Holding modified the lease term for its principal executive office located in Palo Alto, California. The modification extended the lease term for an additional three years, with the lease term expiring in September 2027. As a result of the modification, Scilex Holding recognized additional ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $2.5 million.

11. Income Taxes

The Company maintains deferred tax assets that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The deferred tax assets include net operating loss carryforwards, research credits and temporary differences. In assessing the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers, on a periodic basis, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As such, management has determined that it is appropriate to maintain a valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, except for an amount equal to schedulable deferred tax liabilities.

The stock dividend of Scilex Common Stock (see Note 8) is a taxable distribution of property governed by Section 311(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the Company recognized an income tax liability of $12.7 million as of June 30, 2023 through tax expense.

The Company’s income tax expense of $12.1 million and $0.4 million reflect effective tax rates of 4.8% and 0.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense of $0.7 million and income tax benefit of $1.1 million reflect effective tax rates of 0.7% and 0.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The difference between the expected statutory federal tax rate of 21% and the 4.8% effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to changes in valuation allowance, offset by gain recognized on distribution of Scilex Common Stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, the increase in tax expense and effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the gain recognized on distribution of Scilex Common Stock.

12. Net Loss Per Share

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

13. Segment Information

The Company operates in two operating and reportable segments, Sorrento Therapeutics and Scilex. With the exception of unrestricted cash balances, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker does not regularly review asset information by reportable segment and, therefore, it does not report asset information by reportable segment.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” about our expectations, beliefs or intentions regarding our potential product offerings, business, financial condition, results of operations, strategies or prospects. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that these statements do not relate strictly to historical or current matters. Rather, forward-looking statements relate to anticipated or expected events, activities, trends or results as of the date they are made and are often identified by the use of words such as “assumes,” “plans,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” or “will,” and similar expressions or variations. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Many factors could cause our actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those described under the caption “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of such statements.

Overview

Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, “Sorrento,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) is a clinical and commercial stage biopharmaceutical company developing a portfolio of next-generation treatments for three major therapeutic areas: cancer, infectious disease and pain. We are focused on transforming science into Saving Life Medicines™ by advancing innovative product programs into focused commercial entities, like Scilex Holding Company (Nasdaq: SCLX) (“Scilex Holding”).

Cancer. Our proprietary fully human G-MAB™ antibody library and ACEA small molecule library are the engines driving an innovative pipeline of new solutions for cancer. These molecular entities are then enhanced by leveraging our extensive proprietary immuno-oncology platforms such as immuno-cellular therapies (“DAR-T™”), antibody-drug conjugates (“ADCs”), oncolytic virus (“Seprehvec™”) and lymphatic drug delivery (“Sofusa™”).

Infectious Disease. We are focused on preventing, detecting and treating in the fight against COVID-19 today, and aim to be positioned to address the pandemic threats of tomorrow. We have applied our antibody and small molecule capability to develop highly sensitive and rapid diagnostics, and multi-modal treatments for the SARS-CoV-2 virus and its variants. Our diagnostics platforms include the COVIMARK™ lateral flow antigen test (launched as COVISTIX™ in Mexico and Brazil) and the VIREX™ platform, which leverages existing worldwide manufacturing infrastructure for glucometers and glucose strip tests to provide affordable and highly scalable, next-generation diagnostic solutions for infectious diseases, liver cancer and other biomarkers. Therapeutic solutions include a next-generation mRNA Omicron vaccine (STI-1557), a next-generation protease inhibitor antiviral pill (STI-1558) as a stand-alone treatment (not requiring the Ritonavir booster) and a variant agnostic mesenchymal stromal cell therapy for people with “long” COVID. We also continue to evaluate neutralizing antibody approaches effective against emerging variants of concern.

Pain. In November 2022, we announced the Nasdaq debut of Scilex Holding following the completion of its business combination with Vickers Vantage Corp. I, a special purpose acquisition company. Scilex Holding, with two commercial products and a robust pipeline, is focused on becoming the global pain management leader committed to social, environmental, economic and ethical principles to responsibly develop pharmaceutical products to maximize quality of life. Scilex Holding is an innovative revenue-generating company with its flagship product, ZTlido®, launched in October 2018 as a prescription lidocaine topical product, which has demonstrated superior adhesion and bioavailability compared to current lidocaine patches. In 2022, Scilex Holding also entered into an exclusive agreement with Romeg Therapeutics, LLC to market and distribute U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”)-approved Gloperba® in the U.S. for painful gout flares. Scilex Holding has built a commercial organization focused on neurologists and pain specialists and intends to leverage this capability for the potential launch of next-generation products that are currently in development. The first of these product candidates, SEMDEXA™, is an injectable viscous gel formulation of a widely used corticosteroid designed to address the limitations associated with off label corticosteroid epidural injections. SEMDEXA™ has completed its pivotal study and Scilex Holding is preparing for its new drug application submission.

We are also developing Resiniferatoxin (“RTX”), a naturally occurring non-opioid ultra-potent transient receptor potential vanilloid-1 agonist. When injected peripherally, a sustained desensitization occurs, resulting in reduction of noxious chronic pain symptoms that can last for months. RTX has the potential to be a multi-indication franchise asset and is nearing pivotal studies in intractable pain associated with cancer and moderate to severe knee osteoarthritis pain.

Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11

As previously reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2023, on February 13, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), we and our wholly owned direct subsidiary, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together with us, the “Debtors”), commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United

33

States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 proceedings are jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court under the caption In re Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., et al. (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). We continue to operate our business in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

On February 28, 2023, the Office of the United States Trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, which was reconstituted on March 28, 2023, June 7, 2023, and July 28, 2023. The purpose of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors is to represent the interests of our unsecured creditors. On April 10, 2023, the U.S. Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, which was reconstituted on April 14, 2023. The purpose of the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders is to represent the interests of our equity security holders.

Additional information about the Chapter 11 Cases, including access to documents filed with the Bankruptcy Court (the “Bankruptcy Docket”), is available online at https://cases.stretto.com/sorrento, a website administered by Stretto, a third-party bankruptcy claims and noticing agent. The information on that website is not incorporated by reference into, and does not constitute part of, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For a full description of the Chapter 11 Cases and the proceedings therein, you may review the Bankruptcy Docket.

Nant Arbitration / Mediation

Prior to commencing the Chapter 11 Cases, we had engaged in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against NantPharma, LLC (“NantPharma”) relating to breaches of the May 14, 2015 Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement entered into between us and NantPharma related to the development of the cancer drug Cynviloq™ (the “Cynviloq Arbitration”). In April 2019, we filed an action in the Los Angeles Superior Court (the “Court”) derivatively on behalf of Immunotherapy NANTibody LLC (“NANTibody”) against NantCell, Inc. (“NantCell”) and Patrick Soon-Shiong, among others, related to alleged breaches of the June 11, 2015 Limited Liability Company Agreement for NANTibody entered into between us and NantCell (the “Derivative Action”). The suit alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and seeks, among other things, a declaration that the Assignment Agreement entered into on July 2, 2017, between NantPharma and NANTibody is void and an equitable unwinding of the Assignment Agreement. The suit calls for the restoration of $90.05 million to the NANTibody capital account, thereby restoring our equity method investment in NANTibody to our invested amount as of June 30, 2017 of $40.0 million.

Additionally, in 2020, we filed a legal action against Patrick Soon-Shiong in the Court, asserting claims for fraudulent inducement and common law fraud alleging that, among other things, Dr. Soon-Shiong acquired the drug Cynviloq for the purpose of halting its progression to the market. This action is pending.

We had also engaged in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against NantCell and NANTibody relating to alleged breaches of the April 21, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between us and NantCell and the June 11, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between us and NANTibody (the “NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration”).

On December 2, 2022, the arbitrator in the NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages and pre-award interest in the amounts of $156,829,562 to NantCell and $16,681,521 to NANTibody, exclusive of post-award, prejudgment interest, which will accrue at 9% per annum (the “Nant Award”). On December 20, 2022, the arbitrator in the Cynviloq Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages of $125 million to us, reflecting the value of lost milestone payments for the approval of Cynviloq for the treatment of breast and lung cancers (the “Cynviloq Award”).

On February 7, 2023, the Court confirmed the Nant Award and issued a 70-day stay of enforcement of the judgment beyond $50 million (i.e., the difference between the amount of the Nant Award and amount of the Cynviloq Award).
Following such confirmation, we believed that NantCell and NANTibody, in an attempt to satisfy the unstayed $50 million portion of the Nant Award, would imminently take steps to levy our assets, which would cause significant disruption and harm to our business, including our ability to continue developing life-saving and cutting-edge drugs. To protect our business and maximize its value, on February 13, 2023, we commenced the Chapter 11 Cases.

On March 16, 2023, the Court granted our motion to confirm the award in the Cynviloq Arbitration over NantPharma’s opposition. On April 7, 2023, the Court entered final judgment (“Final Judgment”) upon the confirmed award in our favor in the amount of $127,686,210, which includes arbitration costs and accrued interest on the award since December 20, 2022. The Final Judgment is accruing interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum, from March 16, 2023.

Following mediation in the Chapter 11 Cases, we reached a settlement with NantPharma, NantCell, and NANTibody (along with their related parties) (collectively, the “Nant Parties”) regarding the Nant Award, the Cynviloq Award, and other legal causes of action (the “Nant Settlement”)—subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. Under the settlement, either (i) we will pay NantCell and NANTIbody in full in cash by August 31, 2023 to satisfy the Nant Award (the “Nant Settlement Payment”) and we and the Nant Parties will retain all their other respective claims and causes of action, joint venture interests, and royalty rights and obligations, or (ii) if we do not make the Nant Settlement Payments, then we and the Nant Parties will mutually release each other from any and all claims and causes of action, we will transfer our joint venture interests (and rights related thereto) in certain Nant Parties to the Nant

34

Parties, and we will receive $1.5 million from the Nant Parties in exchange for a release of our royalty rights to PD-L1 (and address certain rights and obligations related thereto). In the interim, we and the Nant Parties have agreed to stay all litigation matters until August 31, 2023. A hearing for the Bankruptcy Court to consider approval of the settlement is currently scheduled for August 14, 2023.

Sale Procedures

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 20, 2023, on April 14, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving procedures for the Debtors to conduct a dual-track (i) financing process for the potential raising of debt, equity, or hybrid financing or consummation of a restructuring transaction through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and (ii) marketing process for the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Debtors’ assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, including (x) the Debtors’ equity interests in its non-debtor subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, Scilex Holding, and (y) the Debtors’ other assets. The sale and financing process remains ongoing.

On April 27, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order providing that we may consummate one or more block sales of our shares of common stock of Scilex Holding without requiring any further approval from the Bankruptcy Court, subject to certain other conditions set forth in the order (namely, the prior approval from the Debtors’ lender in their Chapter 11 Cases, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders). As of the date hereof, the Debtors have not consummated any such block sales.

On June 12, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court also entered an order approving certain sale procedures for the Debtors to sell certain “de minimis” assets (up to $10 million in the aggregate) on an expedited basis and subject to certain notice and consent requirements (as applicable depending on the type of de minimis asset or stock). As of the date hereof, the Debtors have not consummated any such de minimis asset sales.

Debtor-in-Possession Financing - Senior DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2023 (the “February 22 Form 8-K”), on February 19, 2023, the Debtors executed that certain Senior Debtor-In-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Senior DIP Term Sheet”) with JMB Capital Partners Lending, LLC (“JMB Capital” or the “Senior DIP Lender”), pursuant to which JMB Capital (or its designees or its assignees) provided the Debtors with a non-amortizing super-priority senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000,000 in term loan commitments (the “Senior DIP Facility”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet.

As previously disclosed in the February 22 Form 8-K, at a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on February 21, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Senior DIP Order”) approving the Senior DIP Facility on an interim basis and providing the Debtors with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Senior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet, the Debtors were authorized to make a single, initial draw of $30,000,000 on the Senior DIP Facility (the “Senior Draw”). The Debtors then negotiated definitive financing documentation, including a Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Senior DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Senior DIP Facility (collectively with the Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the “Senior DIP Documents”).

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on March 29, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (the “Final Senior DIP Order”) approving the Senior DIP Facility on a final basis and providing the Debtors with access to the remaining $45,000,000 of the Senior DIP Facility (subject to the terms, conditions, and covenants set forth in the Senior DIP Documents), through additional draws of no less than $5,000,000, each upon five business days’ written notice to the Senior DIP Lender, and the Debtors and Senior DIP Lender proceeded to enter into the Senior DIP Documents on March 30, 2023. Among other terms, the Senior DIP Facility bore interest at a per annum rate equal to 14% payable in cash on the first day of each month in arrears (and a default interest rate that shall accrue at an additional per annum rate of 3% plus the non-default interest, payable in cash on the first day of each month). The Debtors were required to pay to the Senior DIP Lender a commitment fee equal to 2.5% of the total amount of the Senior DIP Commitment (which was paid out of the Senior Draw), a funding fee equal to 2.5% of the amount of each draw and upon repayment or satisfaction of the Senior DIP Loans (in whole or in part), an exit fee equal to 7% of the total amount of the Senior DIP Commitments and other fees and charges as described in the Senior DIP Documents. The Senior DIP Facility was secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Debtors’ unencumbered assets, subject to certain enumerated exceptions, and second-priority liens on those assets of the Debtors that are encumbered by certain permitted liens (as set forth in the Final Senior DIP Order).

As of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding principal balance on the Senior DIP Facility was $75.0 million, which is included under current portion of debt in the consolidated balance sheets. We recorded certain lender fees as described above of $1.1 million and $9.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. We also recorded $1.8 million and $2.2 million in

35

interest expense relating to the per annum rate equal to 14% payable in cash during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Upon the maturity of the Senior DIP Facility on July 31, 2023, we were in default under the Senior DIP Facility as a result of our failure to repay the Senior DIP Facility upon maturity. On August 9, 2023, however, we repaid the Senior DIP Facility in full from proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility, curing such default.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Junior DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 10, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, on July 5, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Junior DIP Order”) approving the Junior DIP Facility (as defined below) on an interim basis and providing us with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Junior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Junior DIP Term Sheet, we were authorized to make (and did make) a single draw of the Junior DIP Facility (the “Junior Draw”), which is subject to a certain intercreditor and subordination agreement entered into by and among the Senior DIP Lender and the Junior DIP Lender (the “Subordination Agreement”). The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Junior DIP Facility on a final basis (the “Final Junior DIP Order”) on July 27, 2023.

On July 5, 2023, we executed that certain Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Junior DIP Term Sheet”) with its subsidiary, Scilex Holding (the “Junior DIP Lender”), pursuant to which Scilex Holding (or its designees or its assignees) has provided us with a non-amortizing super-priority junior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $20,000,000 (the “Base Amount”), plus (ii) the amount of the commitment fee and the funding fee, each equal to 1% of the Base Amount, plus (iii) the amount of the DIP Lender Holdback (as defined in the Interim Junior DIP Order) (the “Junior DIP Facility”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Junior DIP Term Sheet. The Junior DIP Term Sheet grants to Scilex Holding a right of first refusal to provide any debtor-in-possession financing during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases to us occurring after the date of the Interim Junior DIP Order until the Chapter 11 Cases are concluded. In connection with the Junior DIP Term Sheet, Scilex Holding entered into the Subordination Agreement with the Senior DIP Lender, which specifies that the Junior DIP Facility is subordinated in right of payment to the Senior DIP Facility as more fully set forth therein. The Debtors negotiated and executed other definitive financing documentation, including a Junior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Junior DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Junior DIP Facility (collectively with the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the “Junior DIP Documents”).

The Junior DIP Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate of 12.00% payable in kind on the first day of each month in arrears and on the DIP Termination Date (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the interest rate on outstanding DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) would increase by 2.00% per annum. The commitment fee and the funding fee described above shall be payable upon the funding of the DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement), in each case as set forth in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement. Upon repayment or satisfaction of the DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) in whole or in part, we shall pay to Scilex Holding in cash an exit fee equal to 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Junior DIP Facility on the date of the Junior Draw.

The Junior DIP Facility matures on the earliest of: (i) September 30, 2023; (ii) the effective date of any chapter 11 plan of reorganization with respect to the Debtors; (iii) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) the date of the acceleration of the DIP Loans and the termination of the DIP Commitments in accordance with the Junior DIP Documents (each as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement); and (v) the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Further, in no event shall the Junior DIP Facility mature before the maturity date of the Senior DIP Facility obligations as in effect on the date of the Interim DIP Order. Pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the Debtors’ obligations to the Junior DIP Lender under the Junior DIP Facility are subordinated to the obligations of the Debtors to the Senior DIP Lender on the terms and conditions set forth therein.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Replacement DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 10, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, on August 7, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (the “Replacement DIP Order”) approving the Replacement DIP Facility (as defined below) on a final basis.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Oramed” and, in its capacity as lender under the Replacement DIP Facility, the “Replacement DIP Lender”) has agreed to provide us with a non-amortizing super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (the “Replacement DIP Facility”), pursuant to definitive financing documentation entered into on August 9, 2023, including a Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Replacement DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Replacement DIP Facility (collectively with the Replacement DIP Credit

Agreement, the “Replacement DIP Documents”). Upon entry of the Replacement DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Replacement DIP Documents, the Debtors were authorized to make (and did make) a single draw of the entire amount of the Replacement DIP Facility. The Debtors used the proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility to, among other things, repay the Senior DIP Facility in full on August 9, 2023. After applying approximately $82 million of the proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility to pay off the Senior DIP Facility in full, the remaining proceeds of the Replacement DIP Facility are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Debtors, subject to the budgets contemplated in the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement, the payment of certain statutory fees and allowed professional fees of the Debtors, bankruptcy-related expenses and fees, expenses, interest and other amounts payable under the Replacement DIP Facility.

The Replacement DIP Facility bears interest at a per annum rate equal to 15%, payable in cash on the first day of each month in arrears (and a default interest rate that shall accrue at an additional per annum rate of 3% plus the non-default interest, payable in cash on the first day of each month) and other fees and charges as described in the Replacement DIP Documents. The Replacement DIP Facility is secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Debtors’ assets, subject to certain enumerated exceptions.

The Replacement DIP Facility matures on the earliest of: (i) October 15, 2023; (ii) the effective date of any Chapter 11 plan of reorganization with respect to the Debtors; (iii) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors’ assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) the date of the acceleration of the DIP Obligations in accordance with (and as defined in) the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement; (v) the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the date of termination of the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below) or other definitive documentation related to the subject matter thereof, solely in the event such termination results from a material breach of such documentation by any Loan Party (as defined in the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement) or other seller thereunder; and (vii) the date on which a “Trigger Event” (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Scilex Holding) has occurred. The Replacement DIP Facility does not contain a roll-up or cross-collateralization of prepetition debt or otherwise dictate how prepetition claims will be addressed in a Chapter 11 plan.

The Replacement DIP Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for similar types of agreements. The Debtors have agreed to indemnify the Replacement DIP Lender against certain liabilities arising in connection with the Replacement DIP Facility.

Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement

The Replacement DIP Order also approved that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 7, 2023 (the “Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement”), between us and Oramed relating to the purchase and sale of (A) 59,726,737 shares of the common stock of Scilex Holding (the “Scilex Common Stock”), (B) 29,057,096 shares of Series A preferred stock of Scilex Holding (the “Scilex Preferred Shares”), which constitutes one fewer Scilex Preferred Share (the “Remaining Preferred Share”) than all of the issued and outstanding Scilex Preferred Shares; and (C) warrants exercisable for 4,490,617 shares of Scilex Common Stock (“Scilex Warrants”), of which 1,386,617 Scilex Warrants are “public warrants” and 3,104,000 Scilex Warrants are “private placement” warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of the special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) that merged with Scilex Holding for its initial business combination and which we acquired from the SPAC sponsor (“Sponsor”) in accordance with the terms of a warrant transfer agreement between us and the Sponsor ((A), (B) and (C) collectively, the “Scilex Purchased Securities”). The sale of the Scilex Purchased Securities would be conducted pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Pursuant to the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement, Oramed agreed to buy, and we agreed to sell (following an auction of the Scilex Purchased Securities (the “Auction”) that is scheduled to commence on August 14, 2023 (if another qualified bidder emerges) and subject to further Bankruptcy Court approval in the form of a sale order (the “Sale Order”)) the Scilex Purchased Securities for a purchase price (subject to the submission of higher or otherwise better offers in accordance with the approved procedures for the Auction) of $105 million (the “Purchase Price”) (which purchase price shall consist of a credit bid on a dollar-for-dollar basis in respect of the full amount of outstanding obligations as of the closing date under the Replacement DIP Facility, with the remaining balance to be paid in cash to us). We have also granted Oramed an option in the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase up to 2,259,058 additional shares of Scilex Common Stock held in abeyance for the benefit of certain holders of warrants to purchase shares of our common stock (the “Option Shares”). Such option will be exercisable for a period of 30 days after we notify Oramed that we no longer hold all or part of such Option Shares in abeyance and can freely transfer such Option Shares to Oramed. The purchase price per Option Share payable by Oramed in connection with the exercise of such option shall be $1.13 per Option Share. The sale of the Scilex Purchased Securities by us to Oramed is subject to the Auction and a further order from the Bankruptcy Court approving such sale before such purchase and sale becomes a final agreement between the parties thereto. The Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement also contained certain stalking horse protections (the “Stalking Horse Protections”), consisting of (A) a break-up fee payable to Oramed of $3,412,500 and (B) reimbursement of costs and expenses of external counsel up to $1 million (to the extent not paid under the Replacement DIP Facility), in each case, payable to Oramed one business day following the closing of an Alternative Transaction (as defined in the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement, being a sale of any portion of the Scilex Purchased Securities to a party other than Oramed or its affiliate(s)) if the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement is or has been terminated in certain circumstances. Payments pursuant to the Stalking Horse Protections shall be treated as an allowed superiority

administrative expense claim in the Debtors’ bankruptcy case pursuant to Section 503(b)(1) and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Stalking Horse Protections were approved in the Replacement DIP Order and are not subject to any further approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

Automatic Stay

Subject to certain specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Petitions automatically stayed most judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to pre-petition claims. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

Executory Contracts

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, amend or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors in this document, including, where applicable, a quantification of our obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease of the Debtors, is qualified by any overriding rejection rights we have under the Bankruptcy Code. As of June 30, 2023, no motions were filed with the Bankruptcy Court (and none remain on the Bankruptcy Docket) to assume, amend or reject certain executory contracts; the Debtors did, however, file certain agreed stipulations to reject certain unexpired leases, which the Bankruptcy Court approved and entered on April 13, 2023 and April 24, 2023.

Claims Reconciliation

The Debtors have filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the Debtors, subject to the assumptions filed in connection therewith. These schedules and statements may be subject to further amendment or modification after filing. Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, certain holders of pre-petition claims that are not governmental units were required to file proofs of claim by June 26, 2023 (the "General Bar Date"), the general claims bar date. Governmental units are required to file proofs of claim by August 12, 2023.

As of the General Bar Date, approximately 358 proofs of claim have been filed against the Debtors. This includes duplicate and amended claims. The Debtors are in the process of reviewing, investigating, and reconciling proofs of claims filed against the Debtors with the amounts reflected in their books and records. The Debtors will continue the claims reconciliation process and object, as necessary, to asserted claims, including on the basis that they have been amended or superseded by subsequently filed proofs of claims, are without merit, have already been paid, are overstated or should be adjusted or expunged for other reasons. As a result of this process, the Debtors may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to liabilities subject to compromise. As part of its ongoing review, except to the extent otherwise disclosed, we are not aware of any claims that may require a material adjustment to the accounts and balances as reported as of June 30, 2023.

Listing

On February 13, 2023, we received written notice (the “Delisting Notice”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, the staff of Nasdaq had determined that our common stock would be delisted from Nasdaq, effective February 23, 2023. In the Delisting Notice, the staff of Nasdaq referenced the Chapter 11 Cases and associated public concerns raised by them, concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders and concerns about our ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. In accordance with the Delisting Notice, trading of our common stock on Nasdaq was suspended at the opening of business on February 23, 2023, and at such time, our common stock commenced trading on the Pink Open Market under the symbol “SRNEQ”.

Total research and development expenses	$	77,076	$	112,193	$	(35,117	)	(31%)

R&D expenses primarily include expenses associated with isolating and advancing human antibody drug candidates derived from our libraries, as well as advancing our FUJOVEE (Abivertinib), OVYDSO, SP-102, SP-103, RTX, oncolytic virus, ADC and oncology programs, among others. Such expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, clinical development expenses, preclinical testing, lab supplies, consulting costs, depreciation and other expenses. We track external development costs by program; however, we do not allocate laboratory supplies, R&D materials, personnel costs, share-based payments, facilities costs or other internal costs to specific development programs.

Due to the ever-changing SARS-CoV-2 virus evading antibody-mediated immunity and the reduced severity of the COVID pandemic worldwide, we re-prioritized our R&D efforts and reduced expenditures on our COVID-related diagnostics, vaccine and antibody-based therapeutics, as well as our earlier stage immuno-oncology pre-clinical and clinical programs. We utilized the R&D expense reduction to focus on late-stage clinical product candidate development.

The following table summarizes our R&D expenses by program for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

We recorded no gain or loss on contingent consideration for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and a gain on contingent consideration of $64.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was attributed to the change in fair value of the Earn-Out Consideration associated with the acquisition of ACEA.

Loss (gain) on Derivative Liabilities. Loss on derivative liabilities was immaterial for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was attributed to the private placement warrants assumed by Scilex Holding, which are revalued at each subsequent balance sheet date, with fair value changes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11

We expect to continue operations in the normal course for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases. However, for the duration of our Chapter 11 Cases, our operations and our ability to develop and execute our business plan, our financial condition, our liquidity and our continuation as a going concern are subject to a high degree of risk and uncertainty associated with our Chapter 11 Cases. The outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases is dependent upon factors that are outside of our control, including actions of the Bankruptcy Court. For a discussion of our ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, see Note 1 of the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.

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 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” (in each case, as defined in the Credit Agreement) minus the amount of any reserves or adjustments against receivables required by the Lender, in its discretion. Under the terms of the 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% and which shall be payable by Scilex Pharma monthly in arrears, commencing July 1, 2023. The 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. All indebtedness incurred and outstanding under the Credit Agreement will be due and payable in full on July 1, 2026, unless the Credit Agreement is earlier terminated. The Credit Agreement contains a financial covenant requiring Scilex Pharma to maintain cash on hand at least $1.0 million at all times. As of June 30, 2023, Scilex Pharma has an outstanding balance of $15.9 million under the Revolving Facility, which is classified as current liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

ACEA Significant Debt Arrangements

The outstanding principal amount under ACEA significant debt arrangements assumed in connection with our 2021 acquisition of ACEA was $25.4 million as of June 30, 2023. The ACEA significant debt arrangements are comprised of a series of loans with maturity dates that range from range from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2028. Each loan is interest free for the first five years, after which time the interest rate is 5.39% per annum.

Equity Financings

Yorkville Standby Equity Purchase Agreements

On February 8, 2023, Scilex Holding entered into the amended and restated standby equity purchase agreement (the “A&R Yorkville Purchase Agreement”) with Yorkville, pursuant to which Scilex Holding has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to Yorkville up to $500.0 million of shares of its common stock at its request during the 36 months following the date on which the initial registration statement filed with respect to the shares of common stock issuable pursuant thereto was declared effective by the SEC, subject to the terms therein. The registration statement filed with the SEC in connection with the Standby Equity Purchase Agreement with Yorkville, dated as of November 17, 2022, was initially declared effective by the SEC on December 9, 2022 and Scilex Holding is now able to offer and sell shares of its common stock under that agreement, subject to the limitations set forth therein.

On January 8, 2023, Scilex Holding entered into a Standby Equity Purchase Agreement (the “B. Riley Purchase Agreement”) with B. Riley principal Capital II, LLC (“B. Riley”) (together with A&R Yorkville Purchase Agreement, the “Standby Equity Purchase Agreements”), pursuant to which Scilex Holding has the right, but not the obligation, to sell to B. Riley up to $500.0 million of shares of its common stock at Scilex Holding’s sole and absolute discretion during the 36 months following the date on which the initial registration statement filed with respect to the shares of common stock issuable pursuant thereto was declared effective by the SEC, subject to the terms therein. The registration statement filed by Scilex Holding with the SEC in connection with the B. Riley Purchase Agreement was initially declared effective by the SEC on January 20, 2023 and Scilex Holding is now able to offer and sell shares of its common stock under that agreement, subject to the limitations set forth therein and the limitations set forth in the Scilex Convertible Debentures.

Contingent Consideration

We have contingent consideration obligations in connection with certain acquisition and licensing transactions that are contingent upon achieving certain specified milestones or the occurrence of certain events. Upon the achievement of such milestones or the occurrence of such events, we will be obligated to make certain cash or stock payments in accordance with the terms of such acquisition and license agreements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash used reflects the cash spent on our research activities and cash spent to support the commercial launch of our products.

We expect to continue to incur substantial and increasing losses and negative net cash flows from operating activities as we seek to expand and support our clinical and preclinical development and research activities, support the commercial launch of our products and fund our joint ventures, collaborations and other third-party agreements.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was primarily attributed to purchases of property and equipment, net, partially offset by the buyback of our 49% equity interest in Zhengzhou Fortune Bioscience Co., Ltd. for net proceeds of approximately $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities reflects net proceeds from the Senior DIP Facility of $71.0 million, proceeds from equity offerings of $37.0 million, proceeds from the Scilex Convertible Debentures of $24.0 million, proceeds from the Scilex Pharma Revolving Facility of $17.2 million, proceeds from other short-term debt of $6.0 million,

partially offset by repayments of debt and other obligations of $5.3 million and transaction costs paid relating to prior period acquisitions of $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements which are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We continually evaluate our estimates and judgments, the most critical of which are those related to debt, derivative liabilities, revenue recognition, leases, contingent liabilities and acquisition consideration payable, income taxes and stock-based compensation. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Materially different results can occur as circumstances change and additional information becomes known. Our critical accounting policies and estimates are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023, and there have been no material changes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Scilex Convertible Debentures

We elected the fair value option to account for the Scilex Convertible Debentures in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million that were issued in March and April 2023, discussed in Note 7 of the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Scilex Convertible Debentures are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. We use the Binomial Lattice Model valuation technique to measure the fair value of the Scilex Convertible Debentures with any changes in the fair value of the Scilex Convertible Debentures recorded in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Adoption of ASC 852

Beginning on the Petition Date, we applied Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations ("ASC 852") in preparing the consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for the periods subsequent to the Petition Date and up to and including the period of emergence from Chapter 11, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding are recorded as Reorganization items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition, prepetition obligations that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 process have been classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023 as liabilities subject to compromise. These liabilities are reported at the amounts we anticipate will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts.

Material Cash Requirements

As of June 30, 2023, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business, other than the following, in our outstanding material contractual obligations from those disclosed under the heading “Material Cash Requirements” within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023:

•Short-term debt of $75.0 million related to the Senior DIP Facility as discussed in Note 7 of the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q; and

•$18.4 million of Scilex Convertible Debentures outstanding as discussed in Note 7 of the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

•$15.9 million outstanding under the Scilex Pharma Revolving Facility as discussed in Note 7 of the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 

New Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the standard beginning January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in our market risk during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the disclosures in Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such terms are defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance. As a result, management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, management has concluded that as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. However, we believe the consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As described in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023, as a result of our former Chief Financial Officer`s passing in early 2022 as well as other considerations, management concluded that we did not employ sufficient accounting resources with appropriate experience and technical expertise to effectively execute controls over certain judgmental accounting areas. As a result, we identified certain of our control activities were deficient and the combination of the aforementioned deficiencies were deemed to represent a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. While we have taken actions to remediate this material weakness, including (i) recruiting and employing personnel with appropriate experience and technical expertise to enhance management’s assessment of judgmental and technical accounting areas, (ii) conducting additional training for staff involved in judgmental and technical accounting areas, and (iii) engaging additional independent third-party technical consultants to assist in performing accounting analyses of complex transactions, completion of our remediation efforts is ongoing. As such, our management concluded the aforementioned material weakness had not been remediated as of December 31, 2022. As a result, certain of our control activities in the areas of revenue, business combinations, investments, debt, derivative liabilities, intangibles and contingent consideration did not operate effectively and have been deemed deficient and the combination of the aforementioned deficiencies represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2023, we continued to evaluate, and for the remainder of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, we will continue evaluating, our remediation measures as described above to determine if such measures have been effectively implemented and will provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Any failure to implement these improvements to our internal control over financial reporting would result in a continued material weakness in our internal control and could impact our ability to produce reliable financial reports, effectively manage the company or prevent fraud, and could potentially harm our business and our performance.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we carried out an evaluation of any potential changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except for the controls and procedures being implemented and evaluated as described above, there has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting (as defined by Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our most recent fiscal quarter that our certifying officers concluded materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As disclosed above, a material weakness was identified in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. Our plans for remediating such material weakness, enumerated above, will continue to constitute changes in our internal control over financial reporting, prospectively, when such remediation plans are effectively implemented.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The information under the caption “Litigation” set forth in Note 10 in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023, in Part I –Item 1A, Risk Factors, describes important risk factors that could cause our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects to differ materially from those indicated or suggested by forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or presented elsewhere by management from time to time. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2023. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to our Bankruptcy

We are in the process of Chapter 11 reorganization cases under the United States Bankruptcy Code, which may cause our common stock to decrease in value and may eventually render our common stock worthless. For a full description of the terms and conditions of the DIP Facilities, you should refer to the Bankruptcy Docket.

As previously disclosed, on February 13, 2023, we and our wholly owned direct subsidiary, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 proceedings are jointly administered under the caption In re Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., et al. (Case No. 23-90085) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).

Any trading in our securities during the pendency of our Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks to purchasers of our securities, as the price of our securities may decrease in value or become worthless. Recoveries in the Chapter 11 Cases for holders of securities, if any, will depend upon, among other things, our ability to confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases and the value of our assets. Although we cannot predict how our securities will be treated under a plan, we expect that holders of all or some of our securities would not receive a recovery through any plan unless the holders of more senior claims and interests, such as secured and unsecured indebtedness, are paid in full. Consequently, there is a risk that the holders of our securities will receive no recovery under the Chapter 11 Cases and that our securities will be worthless.

Equity securities in a debtor are subject to a high risk of being cancelled through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization without receiving any consideration or otherwise receiving any value. The reason for this high risk of cancellation is because equity securities in a debtor generally sit last in line of priority in bankruptcy. This is referred to as the “absolute priority rule.” Under the absolute priority rule, unless holders of more senior claims otherwise agree, holders of equity securities are generally precluded from receiving

47

any value unless and until holders of allowed claims or interests senior to them are paid in full; there are, however, circumstances where this is not the case.

We are subject to other risks and uncertainties associated with our Chapter 11 Cases.

Our operations and ability to develop and execute our business plan, our financial condition, our liquidity and our continuation as a going concern are subject to the risks and uncertainties associated with our Chapter 11 Cases. These risks include the following:
 

• our ability to confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11 Cases;
 

• the high costs of bankruptcy cases and related fees;
 

• our ability to obtain sufficient financing to allow us to emerge from bankruptcy and execute our business plan post-emergence;
 

• our ability to maintain our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, customers, employees and other third parties;
 

• our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations;
 

• our ability to execute competitive contracts with third parties;
 

• our ability to attract, motivate and retain key employees;
 

• the ability of third parties to seek and obtain court approval to terminate contracts and other agreements with us;
 

• our ability to retain our current management team;
 

• the ability of third parties to seek and obtain court approval to convert the Chapter 11 Cases to a Chapter 7 proceeding; and
 

• the actions and decisions of our stockholders, creditors and other third parties who have interests in our Chapter 11 Cases that may be inconsistent with our plans.

Delays in our Chapter 11 Cases increase the risks of us being unable to reorganize our business and emerge from bankruptcy and increase our costs associated with the bankruptcy process.

These risks and uncertainties could affect our business and operations in various ways. For example, negative events or publicity associated with our Chapter 11 Cases could adversely affect our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, customers, employees and other third parties, which in turn could adversely affect our operations and financial condition. Also, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, we need the prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court for transactions outside the ordinary course of business, which may limit our ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of certain opportunities. Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with our Chapter 11 Cases, we cannot accurately predict or quantify the ultimate impact that events that occur during our Chapter 11 Cases will have on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and there is no certainty as to our ability to continue as a going concern.

We are required to pay the fees and expenses of estate professionals retained in the Chapter 11 Cases, which includes the legal and financial advisors to us, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, subject to certain budget restrictions under the DIP Facilities (the “DIP Budget”), other agreements, and approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Our current DIP Budget includes approximately $35.0 million in fees and expenses for Chapter 11 professionals, from the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases (February 13, 2023) through July 29, 2023, of which there were $32.0 million in fees and expenses budgeted through July 14, 2023.

We may not be able to obtain confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization.

48

To emerge successfully from chapter 11 protection as a viable entity, we must meet certain statutory requirements with respect to the adequacy of disclosure with respect to a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, solicit and obtain the requisite acceptances of such a reorganization plan and fulfill other statutory conditions for confirmation of such a plan.

Even if a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization is consummated, it will be based in large part upon assumptions and analyses developed by us. If these assumptions and analyses prove to be incorrect, we may not be able to achieve our stated goals and continue as a going concern.

Any plan of reorganization may affect both our capital structure and the ownership, structure and operation of our business and will reflect assumptions and analyses based on our experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors that we consider appropriate under the circumstances. In addition, a plan of reorganization will rely upon financial projections developed by us with the assistance of our financial advisor/investment banker, including with respect to fees, revenues, debt service, and cash flow. Financial forecasts are necessarily speculative, and it is likely that one or more of the assumptions and estimates that are the basis of these financial forecasts may not be accurate. Whether actual future results and developments will be consistent with our expectations and assumptions depends on a number of factors, including but not limited to (1) our ability to substantially change our capital structure, (2) our ability to obtain adequate liquidity and financing sources, (3) our ability to maintain clients’, investors’ and strategic partners’ confidence in our viability as a continuing enterprise and to attract and retain sufficient business from and partnership endeavors with them, (4) our ability to retain key employees and (5) the overall strength and stability of general economic conditions. The failure of any of these factors could materially adversely affect the successful reorganization of our business. Consequently, there can be no assurance that the results or developments that may be contemplated by a plan of reorganization, even if confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and implemented by us, will occur or, even if they do occur, that they will have the anticipated effects on us and our subsidiaries or our businesses or operations. The failure of any such results or developments to materialize as anticipated could materially adversely affect the successful execution of any plan of reorganization.

Even if a plan of reorganization is consummated, we may not be able to achieve our stated goals and continue as a going concern.

Even if a plan of reorganization is consummated, we may continue to face a number of risks that are beyond our control, such as changes in economic conditions, changes in the financial markets, changes in investment values or the industry in general, changes in demand for our products and increasing expenses. Some of these risks typically become more acute when a case under the Bankruptcy Code continues for a protracted period of time without indication of how or when the transactions under a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization will close. As a result of these and other risks, we cannot guarantee that any plan of reorganization would achieve our stated goals. Furthermore, even if our debts were reduced or discharged through any plan of reorganization, we may need to raise additional funds through one or more public or private debt or equity financings or other means to fund our business after the completion of the Chapter 11 Cases. Our access to additional capital may be limited, if it is available at all. Therefore, adequate funds may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms. As a result, any plan of reorganization may not become effective and, thus, we cannot assure you of our ability to continue as a going concern, even if a plan of reorganization is confirmed.

We have substantial liquidity needs and may not be able to obtain sufficient liquidity to confirm a plan of reorganization and exit bankruptcy.

Although we have lowered our capital budget and plan to reduce the scale of our operations, our business remains capital intensive. In addition to the cash requirements necessary to fund ongoing operations, we have incurred significant professional fees and other costs in connection with our Chapter 11 Cases and expect that we will continue to incur significant professional fees and costs throughout our Chapter 11 Cases. There are no assurances that our current liquidity is sufficient to allow us to satisfy our obligations related to the Chapter 11 Cases, allow us to proceed with the confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and allow us to emerge from bankruptcy. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to secure additional postpetition financing or exit financing sufficient to meet our liquidity needs or, if sufficient funds are available, offered to us on acceptable terms.

The DIP Facilities have substantial restrictions and financial covenants and if we are unable to comply with the covenant requirements under the DIP Facilities, it could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and in order to provide additional required liquidity during the Chapter 11 process, on July 5, 2023, the Debtors executed that Junior DIP Term Sheet with its subsidiary Scilex Holding, pursuant to which Scilex Holding (or its designees or its assignees) is providing us with a non-amortizing super-priority junior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (i) the $20,000,000 Base Amount, plus (ii) the amount of the commitment fee and the funding fee, each equal to 1% of the Base Amount, plus (iii) the amount of the DIP Lender Holdback (as defined in the Interim Junior DIP Order), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Junior DIP Term Sheet. In connection with the Junior DIP Term Sheet, Scilex Holding entered into a subordination agreement with the Senior DIP Lender, which specified that the Junior DIP Facility is subordinated in right of payment to the Senior DIP Facility as more fully set forth therein. After a hearing before the Bankruptcy

49

Court on July 5, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Interim Junior DIP Order approving the Junior DIP Facility on an interim basis. The Bankruptcy Court entered an order on July 27, 2023 approving the Junior DIP Facility on a final basis.

Further, in order to provide additional required liquidity during the Chapter 11 process, on August 9, 2023, Oramed agreed to provide us with the Replacement DIP Facility, a non-amortizing super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000, pursuant to definitive financing documentation entered into on August 9, 2023, including the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement and other Replacement DIP Documents. Upon entry of the Replacement DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Replacement DIP Documents, the Debtors were authorized to make (and did make) a single draw of the entire amount of the Replacement DIP Facility. The Debtors used the proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility to, among other things, repay the Senior DIP Facility in full on August 9, 2023. The Replacement DIP Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for similar types of agreements.

In addition to customary affirmative and negative covenant obligations, the DIP Facilities require the Debtors to comply with a weekly operating budget, subject to certain permitted variances.

If the Debtors are unable to comply with the covenant requirements under the DIP Facilities, it could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, operating results and cash flows.

In certain limited instances, a Chapter 11 case may be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and the debtor liquidated.

Upon a showing of cause, the Bankruptcy Court may convert a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 7”). In such event, our business operations would generally cease and a Chapter 7 trustee would be appointed to liquidate our assets for distribution in accordance with the priorities established by the Bankruptcy Code. Holders of our common stock would lose their entire investment in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, our historical financial information may not be indicative of our future performance.

During the Chapter 11 Cases, we expect our financial results to continue to fluctuate as restructuring activities and expenses impact our consolidated financial statements. As a result, our historical financial performance is likely not indicative of our financial performance after the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases. If a plan of reorganization is approved and implemented, our existing capital structure may be fundamentally altered. If we emerge from Chapter 11, the amounts reported in subsequent consolidated financial statements may materially change relative to our historical consolidated financial statements. In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, it is also possible that additional restructuring and related charges may be identified and recorded in future periods. Such charges could be material to our consolidated financial position, liquidity and results of operations.

We may be subject to claims that will not be discharged in the Chapter 11 Cases, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

The Bankruptcy Code provides that the confirmation of a plan of reorganization discharges a debtor from, among other things, substantially all debts arising prior to consummation of a plan of reorganization. Thus, while generally all claims against us that arose prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases or before consummation of a plan of reorganization (i) would be subject to compromise and/or treatment under a plan of reorganization and/or (ii) would be discharged in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of a plan of reorganization, certain exceptions may arise. Subject to the terms of a plan of reorganization and orders of the Bankruptcy Court, any claims not ultimately discharged pursuant to a plan of reorganization could be asserted against us and may have an adverse effect on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations on a post-reorganization basis. At this time, we do not believe we have any liability under any such pending litigation (aside from the Nant Award, which has already been reduced to judgment).

We may also have litigation that we have brought against other parties that is still pending at the time of the consummation of a plan of reorganization. If we successfully reorganize through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, pending litigation brought by us would generally continue after the Chapter 11 Cases, unless specifically released by us (including, for example, the potential release in the Nant Settlement of our claims against the Nant Parties).

If we operate under the Bankruptcy Court’s protection for a long period of time, or for a longer period of time than expected, our business may be harmed.

Our future results are dependent upon the successful confirmation and implementation of a plan of reorganization. Our being subject to a long period of operations under the Bankruptcy Court’s protection could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. So long as the proceedings related to the Chapter 11 Cases continue, our senior management may be required to spend a significant amount of time and effort dealing with the reorganization instead of focusing exclusively on our business operations. A prolonged period of operating under the Bankruptcy Court’s protection also may make it

50

more difficult to retain management and other key personnel necessary to the success and growth of our business. In addition, the longer the proceedings related to the Chapter 11 Cases continue, the more likely it is that our clients, investors, strategic partners and service providers will lose confidence in our ability to reorganize our businesses successfully and seek to establish alternative advisory and/or other commercial relationships, as applicable. Furthermore, so long as the Chapter 11 Cases continue, we will be required to incur substantial costs for professional fees and other expenses associated with the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases. We cannot predict the ultimate amount of all settlement terms for the liabilities that will be subject to any plan of reorganization. As of the date hereof, the Debtors have not filed a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization or liquidation, as the Debtors are continuing to evaluate and formulate the potential terms of such a plan. On July 6, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order extending the period in which the Debtors have the exclusive right to file a Chapter 11 plan through August 11, 2023, subject to further extensions thereof. We can give no assurances as to the ultimate duration of the Chapter 11 Cases or the timing of a plan of reorganization. Even once a plan of reorganization is approved and implemented, our operating results may be adversely affected by the possible reluctance of prospective lenders and other counterparties to do business with a company that recently emerged from Chapter 11 protection.

Adverse publicity in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or otherwise could negatively affect our businesses.

Adverse publicity or news coverage relating to us, including, but not limited to, publicity or news coverage in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, may negatively impact our efforts to establish and promote a positive image after emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases.

The Chapter 11 Cases limit the flexibility of our management team in running our business.

While we operate our business as debtor-in-possession under supervision by the Bankruptcy Court, we are required to obtain the approval of the Bankruptcy Court prior to engaging in activities or transactions outside the ordinary course of business. Bankruptcy Court approval of non-ordinary course activities entails preparation and filing of appropriate motions with the Bankruptcy Court, negotiation with the various other parties-in-interest and one or more hearings. Other parties-in-interest may be heard at any Bankruptcy Court hearing and may raise objections with respect to these motions. This process may delay major transactions and limit our ability to respond quickly to opportunities and events. In addition, constraints on our activities as debtor-in-possession may place limitations and restrictions on our business activities and resources. Furthermore, in the event the Bankruptcy Court does not approve a proposed activity or transaction, we would be prevented from engaging in activities and transactions that we believe are beneficial to us.

We may experience employee attrition as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases.

As a result of the Chapter 11 Cases, we may experience employee attrition, and our employees may face considerable distraction and uncertainty. A loss of key personnel or material erosion of employee morale could adversely affect our business and results of operations. Our ability to engage, motivate and retain key employees or take other measures intended to motivate and incentivize key employees to remain with us through the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is limited by certain restrictions on the implementation of incentive programs under the Bankruptcy Code. The loss of services of members of our senior management team could impair our ability to execute our business strategies and implement operational initiatives, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Our post-bankruptcy capital structure is yet to be determined, and any changes to our capital structure may have a material adverse effect on existing and future debt and security holders, including holders of our common stock.

Our post-bankruptcy capital structure has yet to be determined and will be set pursuant to a plan that requires Bankruptcy Court approval. The reorganization of our capital structure may include exchanges of new debt or equity securities for our existing debt, equity securities, and claims against us. Such new debt may be issued at different interest rates, payment schedules and maturities than our existing debt securities. Existing equity securities are subject to a high risk of being cancelled. The success of a reorganization through any such exchanges or modifications will depend on approval by the Bankruptcy Court and the willingness of existing debt and security holders to agree to the exchange or modification, subject to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and there can be no guarantee of success. If such exchanges or modifications are successful, holders of our debt or of claims against us may find their holdings no longer have any value or are materially reduced in value, or they may be converted to equity and be diluted or may be modified or replaced by debt with a principal amount that is less than the outstanding principal amount, longer maturities and reduced interest rates. Holders of our common stock may also find that their holdings no longer have any value and face highly uncertain or no recoveries under a plan. There can be no assurance that any new debt or equity securities will maintain their value at the time of issuance. If existing debt or equity holders are adversely affected by a reorganization, it may adversely affect our ability to issue new debt or equity in the future. Although we cannot predict how the claims and interests of stakeholders in the Chapter 11 Cases, including holders of common stock, will ultimately be resolved, we expect that common stock holders will not receive a recovery through any plan unless the holders of more senior claims and interests, such as secured and unsecured indebtedness, are paid in full.

51

Consequently, there is a significant risk that the holders of our common stock would receive no recovery under the Chapter 11 Cases and that our common stock will be worthless.

Risks Related to Our Financial Position and Capital Requirements

We have incurred significant losses since inception and anticipate that we will incur continued losses for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $2,194.3 million and $1,959.4 million, respectively. We continue to incur significant research and development and other expenses related to our ongoing operations. We have incurred operating losses since our inception, expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future, and we expect these losses to increase as we: (i) advance RTX, STI-6129 (anti-CD38 ADC), STI-1492 (anti-CD38 DAR-T), STI-6643 (anti-CD47 antibody), SP-103, SEMDEXATM and our other product candidates, including our COVID-19-related product candidates, STI-2099 (COVIDROPS), STI-9167 (COVISHIELD), STI-1558 (SARS-CoV-2 Oral Mpro inhibitor), and STI-8282 (COVI-MSC), into further clinical trials and pursue other development, acquire, develop and manufacture clinical trial materials and increase other regulatory operating activities, (ii) conduct further studies for our preclinical COVID-19 related product candidates to advance to clinical trials and seek regulatory approval; (iii) incur incremental expenses associated with our efforts to further advance a number of potential product candidates into preclinical development activities, (iv) continue to identify and advance a number of fully human therapeutic antibody and ADC preclinical product candidates, (v) incur higher salary, lab supply and infrastructure costs incurred in connection with supporting all of our programs, (vi) invest in our joint ventures, collaborations or other third party agreements, (vii) incur expenses in conjunction with defending and enforcing our rights in various litigation matters, (viii) expand our corporate, development and manufacturing infrastructure, and (ix) support our subsidiaries, including Bioserv Corporation, Levena Biopharma US Inc., and SmartPharm Therapeutics, Inc., in their clinical trial, development and commercialization efforts. As such, we are subject to all risks incidental to the development of new biopharmaceutical products and related companion diagnostics, and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown factors that may adversely affect our business. Our prior losses, combined with expected future losses, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our stockholders’ equity and working capital.

Since our common stock is currently quoted on the Pink Open Market our stockholders may face significant restrictions on the resale of our common stock due to state “blue sky” laws and the sale of common stock in this offering is subject to state “blue sky” laws.

Each state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which (i) limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration, and (ii) govern the reporting requirements for broker-dealers doing business directly or indirectly in the state. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or the transaction must be exempt from registration. The applicable broker must also be registered in that state. Since our common stock is currently quoted on the Pink Open Market, a determination regarding registration will be made by those broker-dealers, if any, who agree to serve as the market-makers for our common stock. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our common stock and warrants. You should therefore consider the resale market for our common stock and warrants to be limited, as you may be unable to resell your common stock without the significant expense of state registration or qualification.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

We are involved, and may become involved in the future, in disputes and other legal or regulatory proceedings that, if adversely decided or settled, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are, and may in the future become, party to litigation, regulatory proceedings or other disputes. For example, on April 3, 2019, we filed two legal actions against, among others, Patrick Soon-Shiong and entities controlled by him, asserting claims for, among other things, fraud and breach of contract, arising out of Dr. Soon-Shiong’s purchase of the drug Cynviloq™ from our company in May 2015. The actions allege that Dr. Soon-Shiong and the other defendants, among other things, acquired the drug Cynviloq™ for the purpose of halting its progression to the market. On December 20, 2022, the arbitrator in the arbitration related to breaches of the May 14, 2015 Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement entered into between us and NantPharma, LLC, related to the development of the cancer drug Cynviloq™ issued an award (the “Cynviloq Award”) granting contractual damages of $125 million to us, reflecting the value of lost milestone payments for the approval of Cynviloq for the treatment of breast and lung cancers. On December 2, 2022, the arbitrator in the arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against NantCell, Inc. (“NantCell”) and Immunotherapy NANTibody LLC (“NANTibody”) relating to alleged breaches of the April 21, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between us NantCell and the June 11, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between us and NANTibody, issued an award (the “Antibody Award”) granting contractual damages and pre-award interest in the amounts of $156,829,562 to NantCell and $16,681,521 to NANTibody, exclusive of post-award, prejudgment interest, which will accrue at 9%

52

per annum (the “Award”). On December 21, 2022, the Los Angeles Superior Court entered judgment upon the Antibody Award and ordered us to pay to the Nant Entities the amounts awarded in the Antibody Award. On February 8, 2023, the Los Angeles Superior Court stayed enforcement of the Antibody Award judgment for 70 days only to the extent that the Antibody Award judgment exceeds the approximately $50.0 million difference between the amount of the Antibody Award and the amount of the Cynviloq Award. On March 16, 2023, the Los Angeles Superior Court granted our motion to confirm the Cynviloq Award. As an additional example, on May 26, 2020, Wasa Medical Holdings filed a putative federal securities class action against us, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Henry Ji, Ph.D., and our SVP of Regulatory Affairs, Mark R. Brunswick, Ph.D., alleging that we, Dr. Ji and Dr. Brunswick made materially false and/or misleading statements to the investing public regarding STI-1499 and its ability to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection (the “Wasa Matter”). A second putative federal securities class action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California against the same defendants alleging the same claims and seeking the same relief, which matter was consolidated by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California with the Wasa Matter (the “Consolidated Matter”). On June 3, 2022, judgment was entered in the favor of defendants in the Consolidated Matter. Plaintiff in the Consolidated Matter appealed the judgment in late June 2022 and filed its opening appellate brief in October 2022. The defendants in the Consolidated Matter, as appellees, filed their answering brief in December 2022, and the appellant filed a response in January 2023. The Consolidated Matter is still pending. In general, claims made by or against us in disputes and other legal or regulatory proceedings can be expensive and time consuming to bring or defend against, requiring us to expend significant resources and divert the efforts and attention of our management and other personnel from our business operations. While we intend to pursue any claims made by us, or defend against any claims brought against us, vigorously, we cannot predict the outcomes of such claims. Any failure to prevail in any claims made by us or any adverse determination against us in these proceedings, or even the allegations contained in the claims, regardless of whether they are ultimately found to be without merit, may also result in settlements, injunctions or damages that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and investors in our common stock may lose all or a part of their investment.

The market prices for securities of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. For example, from January 3, 2022 to December 30, 2022, our closing stock price ranged from $0.73 to $4.84 per share and from January 3, 2023 to August 8, 2023, our closing stock price ranged from $0.17 to $1.19. The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as:



• actual or anticipated adverse results or delays in our clinical trials;

• our failure to commercialize our product candidates, if approved;

• unanticipated serious safety concerns related to the use of any of our product candidates;

• adverse regulatory decisions;

• changes in laws or regulations applicable to our product candidates, including but not limited to clinical trial requirements for approvals;

• legal disputes or other developments relating to proprietary rights, including patents, litigation matters and our ability to obtain patent protection for our product candidates, government investigations and the results of any proceedings or lawsuits, including, but not limited to, patent or stockholder litigation;

• our decision to initiate a clinical trial, not initiate a clinical trial or to terminate an existing clinical trial;

• our dependence on third parties, including CROs;

• announcements of the introduction of new products by our competitors;

• market conditions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors;

 

53

• announcements concerning product development results or intellectual property rights of others;

• future issuances of common stock or other securities;

• the addition or departure of key personnel;

• failure to meet or exceed any financial guidance or expectations regarding development milestones that we may provide to the public;

• actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;

• our failure to meet or exceed the estimates and projections of the investment community;

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

• conditions or trends in the biotechnology and biopharmaceutical industries;

• introduction of new products offered by us or our competitors;

• announcements of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments by us or our competitors;

• issuances of debt or equity securities;

• sales of our common stock by us or our stockholders in the future;

• trading volume of our common stock;

• ineffectiveness of our internal controls;

• publication of research reports about us or our industry or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts;

• failure to effectively integrate the acquired companies’ operations;

• general political and economic conditions;

• effects of natural or man-made catastrophic events;

• effects of public health crises, pandemics and epidemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; and

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

Further, the equity markets in general have recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock. Price volatility of our common stock might worsen if the trading volume of our common stock is low. The realization of any of the above risks or any of a broad range of other risks, including those described in these “Risk Factors,” could have a dramatic and material adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.

Additionally, as previously disclosed, on February 13, 2023, we, along with Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc., filed voluntary petitions under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the Bankruptcy Court, thereby commencing the Chapter 11 Cases. The price of our common stock has been volatile following the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases and our common stock may decrease in value or become worthless. Accordingly, any trading in our common stock during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases is highly speculative and poses substantial risks to purchasers of our common stock. As discussed below, recoveries in the Chapter 11 Cases for holders of common stock, if any, will depend upon several factors, including, but not limited to, our ability to negotiate and confirm a plan, the terms of such plan and the value of our assets. Although we cannot predict how our common stock will be treated under a plan, we expect that common stockholders would not receive a recovery through any plan unless the holders of more senior claims and

54

interests, such as secured indebtedness, are paid in full. Consequently, there is a significant risk that the holders of our common stock will receive no recovery under the Chapter 11 Cases and that our common stock will be worthless.

Moreover, on February 13, 2023, we received written notice (the “Delisting Notice”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying us that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, the staff of Nasdaq had determined that our common stock would be delisted from Nasdaq, effective February 23, 2023. In the Delisting Notice, the staff of Nasdaq referenced the Chapter 11 Cases and associated public concerns raised by them, concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders and concerns about our ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. In accordance with the Delisting Notice, trading of our common stock on Nasdaq was suspended at the opening of business on February 23, 2023, and at such time, our common stock commenced trading on the Pink Open Market under the symbol “SRNEQ”. We can provide no assurance that our common stock will continue to trade on the Pink Open Market, whether broker-dealers will continue to provide public quotes of our common stock on this market, whether the trading volume of our common stock will be sufficient to provide for an efficient trading market or whether quotes for our common stock will continue on this market in the future, which could result in significantly lower trading volumes and reduced liquidity for investors seeking to buy or sell our common stock. Furthermore, because of the limited market and generally low volume of trading in our common stock, the price of our common stock could be more likely to be affected by broad market fluctuations, general market conditions, changes in the markets’ perception of our securities, and announcements made by us or third parties with interests in the Chapter 11 Cases.
 

The market price of Scilex Holding’s common stock and warrants may fluctuate significantly, and we may lose all or part of our investment.

The market prices for securities of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies have historically been highly volatile, and the market has from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. From November 11, 2022, the first day Scilex Holding’s common stock and warrants were listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, to July 24, 2023, the closing price of Scilex Holding’s common stock ranged from $2.87 to $14.80 and the closing price of Scilex Holding’s warrants ranged from $0.16 to $3.51. The market price of Scilex Holding’s common stock and warrants may fluctuate significantly in response to numerous factors, many of which are beyond our and Scilex Holding’s control, and may include those described in the risk factor above under the heading “The market price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly, and investors in our common stock may lose all or a part of their investment.” Price volatility of Scilex Holding’s common stock and warrants may affect the value of our investment in Scilex Holding, which could have a material adverse effect on our stock price and our business, prospects, operating results, and financial condition.

As explained above, we have entered into the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement for the sale of the Scilex Purchased Securities, subject to an Auction and a further order from the Bankruptcy Court approving the sale.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and our financial controls and procedures may not in the future be sufficient to ensure timely and reliable reporting of financial information, which could, if not remediated, result in a material misstatement in our financial statements and could adversely affect our future results of operations, our stock price, and our ability to raise capital.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2022, as a result of our former Chief Financial Officer`s passing in early January 2022 as well as other considerations, management concluded that we did not employ sufficient accounting resources with appropriate experience and technical expertise to effectively execute controls over certain judgmental and technical accounting areas. As a result, we identified certain of our control activities were deficient and the combination of the aforementioned deficiencies were deemed to represent a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. While we have taken actions to remediate this material weakness, including (i) recruiting and employing personnel with appropriate experience and technical expertise to enhance management’s assessment of judgmental and technical accounting areas, (ii) conducting additional training for staff involved in judgmental and technical accounting areas, and (iii) engaging additional independent third-party technical consultants to assist in performing accounting analyses of complex transactions, completion of our remediation efforts is ongoing. As such management has concluded the aforementioned material weakness has not been remediated as of December 31, 2022. As a result, certain of our control activities in the areas of revenue, business combinations, investments, debt, derivative liabilities, intangibles and contingent consideration did not operate effectively and have been deemed deficient and the combination of the aforementioned deficiencies represented a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. The material

55

weakness did not result in a restatement of previously issued annual consolidated financial statements or condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

During the fiscal year ending 2023, we will continue evaluating our remediation measures as described above to determine if such measures have been effectively implemented and will provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date or any measures we may take in response to the material weakness in the future will be sufficient to remediate such material weakness or to avoid potential future material weaknesses. Any failure to implement these improvements to our internal control over financial reporting would result in a continued material weakness in our internal control and could impact our ability to produce reliable financial reports, effectively manage the company or prevent fraud, and could potentially harm our business and our performance. Even if we develop effective controls, these new controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or the degree of compliance with these policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we experience future material weaknesses or deficiencies in internal controls and we are unable to correct them in a timely manner, our ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information accurately and within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, will be adversely affected. Any such failure could negatively affect the market price and trading liquidity of our common stock, cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, subject us to civil and criminal investigations and penalties, and generally materially and adversely impact our business and financial condition.
 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

None, other than otherwise disclosed in the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5. Other Information.

During the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2023, none of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated any contract, instruction or written plan for the purchase or sale of our securities that was intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) or any “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement.”

CERTIFICATION OF PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Pursuant to Rule 13a-14(a) adopted pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002

I, Henry Ji, Ph.D., certify that:

1. I have reviewed this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.;

2. Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the subsidiaries of Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”). For consolidated entities where the Company owns or is exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the Company records net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in its consolidated statements of operations equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2023. Operating results for interim periods are not expected to be indicative of operating results for the Company’s 2023 fiscal year, or any subsequent period. The unaudited interim financial statements included herein reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2023, on February 13, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and its wholly owned direct subsidiary, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Scintilla” and together with the Company, the “Debtors”), commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 proceedings are jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court under the caption In re Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., et al. (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors continue to operate their business in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

On February 28, 2023, the Office of the United States Trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, which was reconstituted on March 28, 2023, June 7, 2023 and July 28, 2023. The purpose of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors is to represent the interests of the Debtors’ unsecured creditors. On April 10, 2023, the U.S. Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, which was reconstituted on April 14, 2023. The purpose of the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders is to represent the interests of the Debtors’ equity security holders.

Nant Arbitration / Mediation

Prior to commencing the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company had engaged in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against NantPharma, LLC (“NantPharma”) relating to breaches of the May 14, 2015 Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and NantPharma related to the development of the cancer drug Cynviloq™ (the “Cynviloq Arbitration”). In April 2019, the Company filed an action in the Los Angeles Superior Court (the “Court”) derivatively on behalf of Immunotherapy NANTibody LLC (“NANTibody”) against NantCell, Inc. (“NantCell”) and Patrick Soon-Shiong, among others, related to alleged breaches of the June 11, 2015 Limited Liability Company Agreement for NANTibody entered into between the Company and NantCell (the “Derivative Action”). The suit alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and seeks, among other things, a declaration that the Assignment Agreement entered into on July 2, 2017, between NantPharma and NANTibody is void and an equitable unwinding of the Assignment Agreement. The suit calls for the restoration of $90.05 million to the NANTibody capital account, thereby restoring its equity method investment in NANTibody to its invested amount as of June 30, 2017 of $40.0 million.

Additionally, in 2020, the Company filed a legal action against Patrick Soon-Shiong in the Court, asserting claims for fraudulent inducement and common law fraud alleging that, among other things, Dr. Soon-Shiong acquired the drug Cynviloq for the purpose of halting its progression to the market. This action is pending.

The Company had also engaged in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against NantCell and NANTibody relating to alleged breaches of the April 21, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between the Company and NantCell and the June 11, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between the Company and NANTibody (the “NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration”).

On December 2, 2022, the arbitrator in the NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages and pre-award interest in the amounts of $156,829,562 to NantCell and $16,681,521 to NANTibody, exclusive of post-award, prejudgment interest, which will accrue at 9% per annum (the “Nant Award”). On December 20, 2022, the arbitrator in the Cynviloq Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages of $125 million to the Company, reflecting the value of lost milestone payments for the

approval of Cynviloq for the treatment of breast and lung cancers (the “Cynviloq Award”).

On February 7, 2023, the Court confirmed the Nant Award and issued a 70-day stay of enforcement of the judgment beyond $50 million (i.e., the difference between the amount of the Nant Award and amount of the Cynviloq Award). Following such confirmation, the Company believed that NantCell and NANTibody, in an attempt to satisfy the unstayed $50 million portion of the Nant Award, would imminently take steps to levy its assets, which would cause significant disruption and harm to the Company’s business, including its ability to continue developing life-saving and cutting-edge drugs. To protect the Company’s business and maximize its value, on February 13, 2023, the Company commenced the Chapter 11 Cases.

On March 16, 2023, the Court granted the Company’s motion to confirm the award in the Cynviloq Arbitration over NantPharma’s opposition. On April 7, 2023, the Court entered final judgment (the “Final Judgment”) upon the confirmed award in the Company’s favor in the amount of $127,686,210, which includes arbitration costs and accrued interest on the award since December 20, 2022. The Final Judgment is accruing interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum from March 16, 2023.

Following mediation in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company reached a settlement with NantPharma, NantCell and NANTibody (along with their related parties) (collectively, the “Nant Parties”) regarding the Nant Award, the Cynviloq Award, and other legal causes of action (the “Nant Settlement”)—subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. Under the settlement, either (i) the Company will pay NantCell and NANTIbody in full in cash by August 31, 2023 to satisfy the Nant Award (the “Nant Settlement Payments”) and the Company and the Nant Parties will retain all their other respective claims and causes of action, joint venture interests, and royalty rights and obligations, or (ii) if the Company does not make the Nant Settlement Payments, then the Company and the Nant Parties will mutually release each other from any and all claims and causes of action, the Company will transfer its joint venture interests (and rights related thereto) in certain Nant Parties to the Nant Parties, and the Company will receive $1.5 million from the Nant Parties in exchange for a release of the Company’s royalty rights to PD-L1 (and address certain rights and obligations related thereto). In the interim, the Company and the Nant Parties have agreed to stay all litigation matters until August 31, 2023. A hearing for the Bankruptcy Court to consider approval of the settlement is currently scheduled for August 14, 2023.

Sale Procedures

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 20, 2023, on April 14, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving procedures for the Debtors to conduct a dual-track (i) financing process for the potential raising of debt, equity, or hybrid financing or consummation of a restructuring transaction through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and (ii) marketing process for the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Debtors’ assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, including (x) the Debtors’ equity interests in its non-debtor subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, Scilex Holding Company (“Scilex Holding”), and (y) the Debtors’ other assets. The sale and financing process remains ongoing. As set forth in greater detail below, the Company has entered into a stalking horse purchase agreement for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s equity interests in Scilex Holding.

On April 27, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order providing that the Company may consummate one or more block sales of its shares of common stock of Scilex Holding without requiring any further approval from the Bankruptcy Court, subject to certain other conditions set forth in the order (namely, the prior approval from the Debtors’ lender in their Chapter 11 Cases, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders). As of August 10, 2023, the Debtors have not consummated any such block sales.

On June 12, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court also entered an order approving certain sale procedures for the Debtors to sell certain “de minimis” assets (up to $10 million in the aggregate) on an expedited basis and subject to certain notice and consent requirements (as applicable depending on the type of de minimis asset or stock). As of the date hereof, the Debtors have not consummated any such de minimis asset sales.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Senior DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2023 (the “February 22 Form 8-K”), on February 19, 2023, the Debtors executed that certain Debtor-In-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Senior DIP Term Sheet”) with JMB Capital Partners Lending, LLC (“JMB Capital” or the “Senior DIP Lender”), pursuant to which JMB Capital (or its designees or its assignees) provided the Debtors with a non-amortizing super-priority senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000,000 in term loan commitments (the “Senior DIP Facility”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet.

As previously disclosed in the February 22 Form 8-K, at a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on February 21, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Senior DIP Order”) approving the Senior DIP Facility on an interim basis and providing the Debtors with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Senior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet, the Debtors were authorized to make a single, initial draw of $30,000,000 on the Senior DIP Facility (the “Senior Draw”). The Debtors then negotiated and executed definitive financing documentation, including a Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement

(the “Senior DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Senior DIP Facility (collectively with the Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the “Senior DIP Documents”).

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on March 29, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (the “Final Senior DIP Order”) approving the Senior DIP Facility on a final basis and providing the Debtors with access to the remaining $45,000,000 of the Senior DIP Facility (subject to the terms, conditions, and covenants set forth in the Senior DIP Documents), through additional draws of no less than $5,000,000, each upon five business days’ written notice to the Senior DIP Lender (as defined above), and the Debtors and Senior DIP Lender proceeded to enter into the Senior DIP Documents on March 30, 2023. The Senior DIP Facility matured on July 31, 2023 and was repaid in full on August 9, 2023 from proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility (as defined below).

See Note 7 for further discussion of the key terms of the Senior DIP Facility.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Junior DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 10, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, on July 5, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Junior DIP Order”) approving the Junior DIP Facility (as defined below) on an interim basis and providing the Company with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Junior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Junior DIP Term Sheet, the Company was authorized to make (and did make) a single draw of the Junior DIP Facility (the “Junior Draw”), which is subject to a certain intercreditor and subordination agreement entered into by and among the Senior DIP Lender and the Junior DIP Lender (the “Subordination Agreement”). The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Junior DIP Facility on a final basis (the “Final Junior DIP Order”) on July 27, 2023.

On July 5, 2023, the Company executed that certain Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Junior DIP Term Sheet”) with its subsidiary, Scilex Holding (the “Junior DIP Lender”), pursuant to which Scilex Holding (or its designees or its assignees) has provided the Company with a non-amortizing super-priority junior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $20,000,000 (the “Base Amount”), plus (ii) the amount of the commitment fee and the funding fee, each equal to 1% of the Base Amount, plus (iii) the amount of the DIP Lender Holdback (as defined in the Interim Junior DIP Order) (the “Junior DIP Facility”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Junior DIP Term Sheet. The Junior DIP Term Sheet grants to Scilex Holding a right of first refusal to provide any debtor-in-possession financing during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases to the Company occurring after the date of the Interim Junior DIP Order until the Chapter 11 Cases are concluded. In connection with the Junior DIP Term Sheet, Scilex Holding entered into the Subordination Agreement with the Senior DIP Lender, which specifies that the Junior DIP Facility is subordinated in right of payment to the Senior DIP Facility as more fully set forth therein. The Debtors negotiated and executed other definitive financing documentation, including a Junior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Junior DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Junior DIP Facility (collectively with the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the “Junior DIP Documents”).

The Junior DIP Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate of 12.00% payable in kind on the first day of each month in arrears and on the DIP Termination Date (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the interest rate on outstanding DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) would increase by 2.00% per annum. The commitment fee and the funding fee described above shall be payable upon the funding of the DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement), in each case as set forth in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement. Upon repayment or satisfaction of the DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) in whole or in part, the Company shall pay to Scilex Holding in cash an exit fee equal to 2% of the aggregate principal amount of the Junior DIP Facility on the date of the Junior Draw.

The Junior DIP Facility matures on the earliest of: (i) September 30, 2023; (ii) the effective date of any Chapter 11 plan of reorganization with respect to the Debtors; (iii) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) the date of the acceleration of the DIP Loans and the termination of the DIP Commitments in accordance with the Junior DIP Documents (each as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement); and (v) the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code. Further, in no event shall the Junior DIP Facility mature before the maturity date of the Senior DIP Facility obligations as in effect on the date of the Interim DIP Order. Pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the Debtors’ obligations to the Junior DIP Lender under the Junior DIP Facility are subordinated to the obligations of the Debtors to the Senior DIP Lender on the terms and conditions set forth therein.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Replacement DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 10, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, on August 7, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (the “Replacement DIP Order”) approving the Replacement DIP Facility (as defined below) on a final basis.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Oramed” and, in its capacity as lender under the Replacement DIP Facility, the “Replacement DIP Lender”) has agreed to provide the Company with a non-amortizing super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (the “Replacement DIP Facility” and together with the Junior DIP Facility, the “DIP Facilities”), pursuant to definitive financing documentation entered into on August 9, 2023, including a Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Replacement DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Replacement DIP Facility (collectively with the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement, the “Replacement DIP Documents”). Upon entry of the Replacement DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Replacement DIP Documents, the Debtors were authorized to make (and did make) a single draw of the entire amount of the Replacement DIP Facility. The Debtors used the proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility to, among other things, repay the Senior DIP Facility in full on August 9, 2023. After applying approximately $82 million of the proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility to pay off the Senior DIP Facility in full, the remaining proceeds of the Replacement DIP Facility are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Debtors, subject to the budgets contemplated in the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement, the payment of certain statutory fees and allowed professional fees of the Debtors, bankruptcy-related expenses and fees, expenses, interest and other amounts payable under the Replacement DIP Facility.

The Replacement DIP Facility bears interest at a per annum rate equal to 15%, payable in cash on the first day of each month in arrears (and a default interest rate that shall accrue at an additional per annum rate of 3% plus the non-default interest, payable in cash on the first day of each month) and other fees and charges as described in the Replacement DIP Documents. The Replacement DIP Facility is secured by first-priority priming liens on substantially all of the Debtors’ assets (that prime, among other things, the liens under the Junior DIP Facility), subject to certain enumerated exceptions.

The Replacement DIP Facility matures on the earliest of: (i) October 15, 2023; (ii) the effective date of any Chapter 11 plan of reorganization with respect to the Debtors; (iii) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors’ assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) the date of the acceleration of the DIP Obligations in accordance with (and as defined in) the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement; (v) the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the date of termination of the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below) or other definitive documentation related to the subject matter thereof, solely in the event such termination results from a material breach of such documentation by any Loan Party (as defined in the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement) or other seller thereunder; and (vii) the date on which a “Trigger Event” (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Scilex Holding) has occurred. The Replacement DIP Facility does not contain a roll-up or cross-collateralization of prepetition debt or otherwise dictate how prepetition claims will be addressed in a Chapter 11 plan.

The Replacement DIP Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for similar types of agreements. The Debtors have agreed to indemnify the Replacement DIP Lender against certain liabilities arising in connection with the Replacement DIP Facility.

Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement

The Replacement DIP Order also approved that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 7, 2023 (the “Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and Oramed relating to the purchase and sale of (A) 59,726,737 shares of the common stock of Scilex Holding (the “Scilex Common Stock”), (B) 29,057,096 shares of Series A preferred stock of Scilex Holding (the “Scilex Preferred Shares”), which constitutes one fewer Scilex Preferred Share (the “Remaining Preferred Share”) than all of the issued and outstanding Scilex Preferred Shares; and (C) warrants exercisable for 4,490,617 shares of Scilex Common Stock (“Scilex Warrants”), of which 1,386,617 Scilex Warrants are ”public warrants” and 3,104,000 Scilex Warrants are “private placement” warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of the special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) that merged with Scilex Holding for its initial business combination and which the Company acquired from the SPAC sponsor (“Sponsor”) in accordance with the terms of a warrant transfer agreement between the Company and the Sponsor ((A), (B) and (C) collectively, the “Scilex Purchased Securities”). The sale of the Scilex Purchased Securities would be conducted pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Pursuant to the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement, Oramed agreed to buy, and the Company agreed to sell (following an auction of the Scilex Purchased Securities (the “Auction”) that is scheduled to commence on August 14, 2023 (if another qualified bidder emerges) and subject to further Bankruptcy Court approval in the form of a sale order (the “Sale Order”)) the Scilex Purchased Securities for a purchase price (subject to the submission of higher or otherwise better offers in accordance with the approved procedures for the Auction) of $105 million (the “Purchase Price”) (which purchase price shall consist of a credit bid on a dollar-for-dollar basis in respect of the full amount of outstanding obligations as of the closing date under the Replacement DIP Facility, with the

remaining balance to be paid in cash to the Company). The Company has also granted Oramed an option in the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase up to 2,259,058 additional shares of Scilex Common Stock held in abeyance for the benefit of certain holders of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option Shares”). Such option will be exercisable for a period of 30 days after the Company notifies Oramed that the Company no longer holds all or part of such Option Shares in abeyance and can freely transfer such Option Shares to Oramed. The purchase price per Option Share payable by Oramed in connection with the exercise of such option shall be $1.13 per Option Share. The sale of the Scilex Purchased Securities by the Company to Oramed is subject to the Auction and a further order from the Bankruptcy Court approving such sale before such purchase and sale becomes a final agreement between the parties thereto. The Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement also contained certain stalking horse protections (the “Stalking Horse Protections”), consisting of (A) a break-up fee payable to Oramed of $3,412,500 and (B) reimbursement of costs and expenses of external counsel up to $1 million (to the extent not paid under the Replacement DIP Facility), in each case, payable to Oramed one business day following the closing of an Alternative Transaction (as defined in the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement, being a sale of any portion of the Scilex Purchased Securities to a party other than Oramed or its affiliate(s)) if the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement is or has been terminated in certain circumstances. Payments pursuant to the Stalking Horse Protections shall be treated as an allowed superiority administrative expense claim in the Debtors’ bankruptcy case pursuant to Section 503(b)(1) and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Stalking Horse Protections were approved in the Replacement DIP Order and are not subject to any further approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

Automatic Stay

Subject to certain specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Petitions automatically stayed most judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to pre-petition claims. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

Executory Contracts

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, amend or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors in this document, including, where applicable, a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease of the Debtors, is qualified by any overriding rejection rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code. As of June 30, 2023, no motions were filed with the Bankruptcy Court (and none remain on the Bankruptcy Docket) to assume, amend or reject certain executory contracts; the Debtors did, however, file certain agreed stipulations to reject certain unexpired leases, which the Bankruptcy Court approved and entered on April 13, 2023 and April 24, 2023.

See Note 10 for further discussion of the rejected leases.

Claims Reconciliation

The Debtors have filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the Debtors, subject to the assumptions filed in connection therewith. These schedules and statements may be subject to further amendment or modification after filing. Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, certain holders of pre-petition claims that are not governmental units were required to file proofs of claim by June 26, 2023 (the "General Bar Date"), the general claims bar date. Governmental units are required to file proofs of claim by August 12, 2023.

As of the General Bar Date, approximately 358 proofs of claim have been filed against the Debtors. This includes duplicate and amended claims. The Debtors are in the process of reviewing, investigating, and reconciling proofs of claims filed against the Debtors with the amounts reflected in their books and records. The Debtors will continue the claims reconciliation process and object, as necessary, to asserted claims, including on the basis that they have been amended or superseded by subsequently filed proofs of claims, are without merit, have already been paid, are overstated or should be adjusted or expunged for other reasons. As a result of this process, the Debtors may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to liabilities subject to compromise. As part of its ongoing review, except to the extent otherwise disclosed, the Company is not aware of any claims that may require a material adjustment to the accounts and balances as reported as of June 30, 2023.

Listing

On February 13, 2023, the Company received written notice (the “Delisting Notice”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101,

5110(b) and IM-5101-1, the staff of Nasdaq had determined that the Company’s common stock would be delisted from Nasdaq, effective February 23, 2023. In the Delisting Notice, the staff of Nasdaq referenced the Chapter 11 Cases and associated public concerns raised by them, concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders and concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. In accordance with the Delisting Notice, trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq was suspended at the opening of business on February 23, 2023, and at such time, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the Pink Open Market under the symbol “SRNEQ”.

Use of Estimates

To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adoption of ASC 852

Beginning on the Petition Date, the Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing the consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for the periods subsequent to the Petition Date and up to and including the period of emergence from Chapter 11, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding are recorded as Reorganization items, net in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, prepetition obligations that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 process have been classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023 as liabilities subject to compromise. These liabilities are reported at the amounts the Company anticipates will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. See Note 14 and Note 15 for more information.

Convertible Debentures

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the Scilex Holding Convertible Debentures (as defined in Note 7). The Company recorded the Convertible Debentures at fair value upon issuance. The Company records changes in fair value in the consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk which, if present, will be recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Interest expense related to the Convertible Debentures 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 were expensed as incurred.

Customer Concentration Risk

Scilex Holding had three customers during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, each of which individually generated 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated gross product revenue. These customers accounted for 88% and 85% of the Company’s consolidated gross product revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, individually ranging from 24% to 32% and 22% to 32%, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, these customers represented 81% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable, individually ranging from 21% to 30%. Additionally, during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Scilex Holding purchased inventory from its sole supplier, Itochu Chemical Frontier Corporation. This exposes Scilex Holding to concentration of customer and supplier risk. Scilex Holding monitors the financial condition of its customers, limits its credit exposure by setting credit limits, and has not experienced any credit losses during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Inventory

As of June 30, 2023, net inventory was $9.7 million, comprised of $3.0 million of finished goods and $6.7 million of raw materials and supplies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the standard beginning January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Liquidity and Going Concern

2. Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying 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. The Company has negative working capital and recurring losses from operations, recurring negative cash flows from operations and substantial cumulative net losses to date. The Company expects to incur significant professional fees and other costs in connection with, and throughout, the Chapter 11 Cases. The Company expects to continue operations in the normal course for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases. To ensure ordinary course operations, the Company obtained approval from the Bankruptcy Court for certain “first day” motions to continue its ordinary course operations after the filing date. The Company also received final approval from the Bankruptcy Court for $75.0 million of financing from JMB Capital Partners Lending, LLC, which provided it with immediate liquidity so that the Company could continue operating its business as usual during the Chapter 11 Cases and pay the costs and professional fees associated therewith, although the Company plans to lower its operating budget and further reduce the scale of its operations in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases. In July 2023, the Company received final approval from the Bankruptcy Court for $20.0 million of financing from Scilex Holding, for additional liquidity during the Chapter 11 Cases. In August 2023, the Company received final approval from the Bankruptcy Court for $100.0 million of financing from Oramed in the form of the Replacement DIP Facility, which was used to repay the Senior DIP Facility in full and will be used for additional liquidity during the Chapter 11 Cases.

However, for the duration of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s operations and ability to develop and execute its business plan, its financial condition, liquidity and its continuation as a going concern are subject to a high degree of risk and uncertainty associated with the Chapter 11 Cases. The outcome of the Chapter 11 Cases is dependent upon factors that are outside of the Company’s control, including actions of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company can give no assurances that it will be able to secure additional sources of funds to support its operations, or, if such funds are available to the Company, that such additional financing will be sufficient to meet its needs.

As such, management cannot conclude that such plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As a result, management has concluded that the aforementioned conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date the financial statements are issued.

If the Company is unable to raise additional capital in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable, the Company may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development or commercialization of one or more of its product candidates. The Company may also seek collaborators for one or more of its current or future product candidates at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available. The consolidated financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

If the Company raises additional funds by issuing equity securities, substantial dilution to existing stockholders would result. If the Company raises additional funds by incurring debt financing, the terms of the debt may involve significant cash payment obligations as well as covenants and specific financial ratios that may restrict the Company’s ability to operate its business.

The Failure of Silicon Valley Bank

On March 10, 2023, the Company became aware that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) issued a press release stating that Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, California (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which appointed the FDIC as receiver. On March 12, 2023, the Treasury Department announced that depositors of SVB

will have access to all of their money starting March 13, 2023. The Company had approximately $2.8 million cash deposited with SVB as of each of December 31, 2022, the Petition Date and March 10, 2023. On March 14, 2023, the Company regained access to the full amount of its cash that was deposited with SVB.

Marketable Investments

As disclosed in Note 4, the Company holds 20,422,124 shares of Class A Common Stock of Celularity Inc. (Nasdaq: CELU) (“Celularity”). The shares held by the Company are measured at fair value at each reporting period based on the closing price of Celularity’s common stock on the last trading day of each reporting period.

Convertible Debentures

In March and April 2023, Scilex Holding issued the Convertible Debentures in the principal amount of $25.0 million (see Note 7). The Convertible Debentures are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. Scilex Holding uses 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. As of June 30, 2023, Scilex Holding recorded $3.7 million in change in fair value of the Convertible Debentures. A summary of inputs used in valuing the Convertible Debentures is as follows:

	June 30, 2023
Risk -Free Rate		5.29	%
Corporate Bond Yield		16.33	%
Coupon Interest Rate		7.0	%
Volatility		42.0	%
Dividend Yield		0.0	%
Conversion Price	$	8.00

Contingent Consideration

The Company has included $52.2 million of contingent consideration – non-current, associated with its acquisition of ACEA Therapeutics, Inc. (“ACEA”), within liabilities subject to compromise on the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2023. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded no loss on contingent consideration. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of $3.8 million related to the change in fair value of the contingent consideration associated with its acquisition of ACEA. Prior to this obligation being included in liabilities subject to compromise, the Company assessed the fair value of contingent consideration using a discounted cash flow method combined with a Monte Carlo simulation model. Significant Level 3 assumptions used in the measurement included revenue projections, a discount rate of 20.4% and estimated probabilities of successful commercialization.

Changes in estimated fair value of contingent consideration liabilities since December 31, 2022 are as follows:

(in thousands)	Fair Value
Beginning Balance at December 31, 2022	$	49,346
Change in fair value measurement		3,800
Ending Balance at June 30, 2023	$	53,146

Derivative liabilities

In connection with its business combination with Vickers Vantage Corp. I, a special purpose acquisition company, in November 2022, Scilex Holding assumed certain private placement warrants (the “Private Warrants”), which are revalued at each subsequent balance sheet date, with fair value changes recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company estimates the value of these warrants using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The Company recognized a loss on derivative liabilities related to the Private Warrants of $20 thousand and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

The Company recorded a loss on derivative liabilities of $2.7 million and a gain on derivative liabilities of $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, which related to the compound derivative liabilities associated with the senior secured notes issued by Scilex Pharma in September 2018, which were repaid and fully extinguished in September 2022 (the “Scilex Notes”). The fair value of the derivative liabilities associated with the Scilex Notes was estimated using the discounted cash flow method combined with a Monte Carlo simulation model. Significant Level 3 assumptions used in the measurement included a 6.1% risk adjusted net sales forecast and an effective debt yield of 21.5%.

The following table includes a summary of the derivative liabilities measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) during the six months ended June 30, 2023:

7. Debt

Senior DIP Facility

On February 21, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Interim Senior DIP Order approving the Senior DIP Facility on an interim basis and providing the Debtors with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Senior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet, the Debtors were authorized to make an initial draw of $30,000,000 on the Senior DIP Facility. The Debtors then negotiated the Senior DIP Documents, including the Senior DIP Credit Agreement.

On March 29, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Final Senior DIP Order approving the Senior DIP Facility on a final basis and providing the Debtors with access to the remaining $45,000,000 of the Senior DIP Facility (subject to the terms, conditions, and covenants set forth in the Senior DIP Documents), through additional draws of no less than $5,000,000, each upon five business days’ written notice to the Senior DIP Lender, and the Debtors and Senior DIP Lender proceeded to enter into the Senior DIP Documents on March 30, 2023. Among other terms, the Senior DIP Facility bore interest at a per annum rate equal to 14% payable in cash on the first day of each month in arrears (and a default interest rate that shall accrue at an additional per annum rate of 3% plus the non-default interest, payable in cash on the first day of each month). The Debtors were required to pay to the Senior DIP Lender a commitment fee equal to 2.5% of the total amount of the Senior DIP Commitment (which was paid out of the Senior Draw), a funding fee equal to 2.5% of the amount of each draw and upon repayment or satisfaction of the Senior DIP Loans (in whole or in part), an exit fee equal 7% of the total amount of the Senior DIP Commitments and other fees and charges as described in the Senior DIP Documents. The Senior DIP Facility was secured by first-priority liens on substantially all of the Debtors’ unencumbered assets, subject to certain enumerated exceptions, and second-priority liens on those assets of the Debtors that are encumbered by certain permitted liens (as set forth in the Final Senior DIP Order).

As of June 30, 2023, the total outstanding principal balance on the Senior DIP Facility was $75.0 million, which is included under current portion of debt in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recorded commitment and funding fees totaling $1.1 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The Company also recognized a $5.3 million exit fee, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities as of June 30, 2023.

The Company recorded $1.9 million and $2.2 million in interest expense relating to the per annum rate equal to 14% payable in cash during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.

Upon the maturity of the Senior DIP Facility on July 31, 2023, the Company was in default under the Senior DIP Facility as a result of the Company’s failure to repay the Senior DIP Facility upon maturity. On August 9, 2023, however, the Company repaid the Senior DIP Facility in full from proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility, curing such default.

As discussed in Note 1, subsequent to June 30, 2023, the Company entered into, and made full draws under, the Junior DIP Facility and the Replacement DIP Facility.

Scilex Holding Convertible Debentures

On March 21, 2023, Scilex Holding entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with YA II PN, Ltd. (“Yorkville”) pursuant to which Scilex Holding would issue and sell to Yorkville convertible debentures in an aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million (the “Convertible Debentures”). The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that the Convertible Debentures will 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 Securities Purchase Agreement, 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 Scilex Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Debentures under the Securities Act, and (iii) $7.5 million at the time such registration statement is declared effective by the SEC.

The Convertible Debentures bear interest at an annual rate of 7.00% and will mature on December 21, 2023. The outstanding principal amount is 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 provide a conversion right, in which any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal and any accrued but unpaid interest, may be converted into shares of Scilex Common Stock, at a conversion price of $8.00 per share, at the option of the holder of the Convertible Debentures.

Scilex Holding has 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 amended and restated standby equity purchase agreement between Scilex Holding and Yorkville (the “A&R Yorkville Purchase Agreement”), or a series of Yorkville advances, or any combination of (i) or (ii) as determined by the Scilex Holding. In case of (ii), the proceeds from the shares sold to Yorkville are applied against the outstanding amounts.

Scilex Holding has 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 Scilex Holding, 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.

Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement with Yorkville, Scilex Holding 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 Scilex Common Stock at a conversion price of $8.00 per share and reducing the outstanding Convertible Debentures balance by $7.7 million. Scilex Holding repaid $1.3 million of Convertible Debentures in June 2023. Interest expense related to the Convertible Debentures and included in the changes in fair value was $288,000 for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

Scilex Pharma Revolving Facility

The eCapital Credit Agreement provides that the Lender shall make available to Scilex Pharma revolving loans (the “Revolving Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $30,000,000 (the “Facility Cap”). 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” (in each case, as defined in the eCapital Credit Agreement) 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 1.50%, 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 0.50% 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.

The eCapital Credit Agreement provides that Scilex Pharma and Lender shall enter into a blocked account control agreement with respect to Scilex Pharma’s collections account, which permits the Lender to sweep all funds in such collections account to an account of the Lender for application to the outstanding amounts under the Revolving Facility. 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.

Scilex Pharma’s obligations under the eCapital Credit Agreement are secured by a continuing security interest in Scilex Pharma’s accounts receivable, related deposit accounts, and in the other “Collateral” as defined in the eCapital Credit Agreement. In addition, Scilex Holding has guaranteed the payment and performance obligations of Scilex Pharma under the eCapital Credit Agreement by executing a guaranty agreement, dated as of June 27, 2023.

The eCapital Credit Agreement contains certain representations and warranties and various affirmative and negative covenants applicable to facilities of this type, including covenants that, among other things, will limit or restrict the ability of Scilex Pharma, subject to negotiated exceptions, to incur additional indebtedness and additional liens on their assets, engage in mergers or acquisitions or dispose of assets, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into transactions with affiliated persons, or make investments. The eCapital Credit Agreement also contains a financial covenant requiring Scilex Pharma to maintain cash on hand in “Controlled Deposit Accounts” (as defined in the eCapital Credit Agreement) plus availability under the Revolving Facility of at least $1,000,000 at all times.

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 Scilex Holding’s failure to issue at least $75,000,000 of debt or equity by September 30, 2023. The events of default under the eCapital Credit Agreement are subject to customary thresholds and grace periods as set forth in the eCapital Credit Agreement.

Subject to certain notice requirements and other conditions, upon the occurrence of an event of default, commitments may be terminated and all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility may become immediately due and payable; however, where an event of default arises from certain insolvency events, the commitments shall automatically and immediately terminate and all amounts outstanding under the Revolving Facility shall become immediately due and payable.

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 the Borrower and (iii) other uses not prohibited under the eCapital Credit Agreement.

As of June 30, 2023, Scilex Pharma has an outstanding balance of $15.9 million under the Revolving Facility, which is classified as current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

On January 5, 2023, the Board fixed the date on which the Dividend would be paid to be January 19, 2023 (the “Payment Date”), such Payment Date being within 60 days following the Record Date.

On January 19, 2023, the Dividend was paid. No fractional shares were issued in connection with the Dividend and the equityholders of the Company who otherwise were entitled to receive fractional shares of the Dividend Stock received cash (without interest or deduction) in lieu of such fractional shares in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) $5.87, the closing price of the Scilex Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Record Date, by (b) the fraction of one share of Scilex Common Stock that such equityholder would have otherwise been entitled to receive as a Dividend in respect of shares of Company Common Stock held by such equityholder (after aggregating all such fractional shares otherwise issuable to such equityholder in connection with the Dividend). The Dividend Stock was initially subject to certain transfer restrictions through May 11, 2023, which the Bankruptcy Court subsequently extended to September 1, 2023.

Following the payment of the Dividend and as of June 30, 2023 the Company's ownership interest in Scilex Common Stock is 41.7%. As of June 30, 2023, the Company's total ownership interest in total Scilex Common Stock (assuming conversion of Scilex Preferred Shares into Scilex Common Stock) is 51.22%.

Litigation

In the normal course of business, the Company may be named as a defendant in one or more lawsuits. Other than as set forth below, the Company is not a party to any outstanding material litigation and management is currently not aware of any legal proceedings that, individually or in the aggregate, are deemed to be material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

On April 3, 2019, the Company filed two legal actions against, among others, Patrick Soon-Shiong and entities controlled by him, asserting claims for, among other things, fraud and breach of contract, arising out of Dr. Soon-Shiong’s purchase of the drug Cynviloq™ from the Company in May 2015. The actions allege that Dr. Soon-Shiong and the other defendants, among other things, acquired the drug Cynviloq™ for the purpose of halting its progression to the market. Specifically, the Company has filed:

•An arbitration demand with the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles, California, against NantPharma, LLC (“NantPharma”), and its Chief Executive Officer, Patrick Soon-Shiong, related to alleged fraud and breaches of the Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated May 14, 2015, entered into between NantPharma and the Company, filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 7, 2015. On May 24, 2019, NantCell, Inc., Dr. Soon-Shiong and NANTibody’s General Counsel Charles Kim filed a motion in the Los Angeles Superior Court (the “Court”) to stay or dismiss the Company’s arbitration demand. On October 9, 2019, the Court denied the motion to stay or dismiss the arbitration demand, and the arbitration continued against NantPharma (the “NantPharma Arbitration”). On March 5, 2020, the Company filed a legal action against Dr. Soon-Shiong in the Court, asserting claims for fraudulent inducement and common law fraud, arising out of Dr. Soon-Shiong’s purchase of the drug Cynviloq™ from the Company in May 2015. The action alleges that, among other things, Dr. Soon-Shiong acquired the drug Cynviloq™ for the purpose of halting its progression to the market. In connection with filing this civil action in the Court, where the Company will have the right to a jury trial against Dr. Soon-Shiong, the Company dismissed Dr. Soon-Shiong from the NantPharma Arbitration; and

•An action in the Court derivatively on behalf of NANTibody against NantCell, Inc., NANTibody Board Member and NantCell, Inc., Chief Executive Officer Patrick Soon-Shiong, and NANTibody officer Charles Kim, related to several breaches of the June 11, 2015 Limited Liability Company Agreement for NANTibody entered into between the Company and NantCell, Inc. The suit also alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and seeks, inter alia, a declaration that the Assignment Agreement entered into on July 2, 2017, between NantPharma and NANTibody is void and an equitable unwinding of the Assignment Agreement. The suit calls for the restoration of $90.05 million to the NANTibody capital account, thereby restoring the Company’s equity method investment in NANTibody to its invested amount as of June 30, 2017 of $40.0 million. On May 24, 2019, NantCell, Inc. and Dr. Soon-Shiong filed a cross-complaint against the Company and Dr. Henry Ji, seeking unspecified damages, as well as additional punitive damages and specific performance, related to alleged fraud, alleged breaches of the Exclusive License Agreement for certain antibodies (dated June 11, 2015 and entered into between NANTibody, LLC and the Company), and alleged tortious interference with contract. On May 24, 2019, NANTibody and NantPharma filed a new complaint in the action against the Company and Dr. Henry Ji, seeking unspecified damages, as well as additional punitive damages and specific performance, related to alleged fraud, alleged breaches of the Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement, alleged breaches of the Exclusive License Agreement for certain antibodies (dated April 21, 2015 and entered into between NantCell, Inc. and the Company), and alleged tortious interference with contract. On July 8, 2019, the Company and Dr. Henry Ji filed motions to compel the cross-complaint and new action to arbitration. On October 9, 2019, the Court granted the motions to compel to arbitration all of the claims brought by NANTibody, NantCell, Inc. and NantPharma, and denied the motions to compel as to the claims brought by Dr. Soon-Shiong. Subsequently, NANTibody, NantCell, Inc., and NantPharma have re-filed their claims in arbitration with the American Arbitration Association (the “NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration”). On May 4, 2020, the Company filed counterclaims against NANTibody and NantCell related to breaches of the April 21, 2015 and June 11, 2015 Exclusive License Agreements. The claims against Dr. Soon-Shiong were stayed pending resolution of the claims filed in arbitration.

On December 2, 2022, the arbitrator in the NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration issued an award (the “Antibody Award”) granting contractual damages and pre-award interest in the amounts of $156,829,562 to NantCell and $16,681,521 to NANTibody, exclusive of post-award, prejudgment interest, which will accrue at 9% per annum. The award also held that the Company has no further obligations under the Exclusive License Agreement with NANTibody. The Exclusive License Agreement with NantCell remains in effect only with respect to one anti-PD-L1 antibody that previously was delivered by the Company to NantCell. The Company has no further obligation to contribute any materials or know-how to NantCell with respect to that antibody but will receive potential future royalties on future net sales. The Company continues to hold 40% of the outstanding equity of NANTibody. The award does not resolve the additional legal proceedings brought by the Company against Patrick Soon-Shiong and entities controlled by him, which remain pending. On December 21, 2022, NantCell and NANTibody filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court a petition to confirm the

NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration award. On January 16, 2023, the Company filed in the Court a petition to vacate the Antibody Award. On February 7, 2023, the Court granted the Nant entities’ petition, entered judgment upon the Antibody Award and ordered the Company to pay to the Nant entities the previously disclosed amounts awarded in the Antibody Award.

On December 20, 2022, the arbitrator in the NantPharma Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages of $125.0 million to the Company, reflecting the value of lost milestone payments for the approval of Cynviloq for the treatment of breast and lung cancers. The Company filed a petition to confirm the award with the Los Angeles Superior Court on February 2, 2023. NantPharma filed an opposition motion to vacate the award on February 13, 2023. On March 16, 2023, the Court granted the Company’s motion to confirm the award in the NantPharma Arbitration over NantPharma’s opposition. On April 7, 2023, the Court entered final judgment (“Final Judgment”) upon the confirmed award in favor of the Company in the amount of $127,686,209.93, which includes arbitration costs and accrued interest on the award since December 20, 2022. The Final Judgment is accruing interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum, from March 16, 2023. On April 17, 2023, the Court ordered Patrick Soon-Shiong, to appear, on behalf of NantPharma, before the Court on May 31, 2023, to furnish information to aid the Company in the enforcement of its Final Judgment. On April 18, 2023, the Court issued a writ of execution, which the Company may use, other things, to begin the process of levying NantPharma’s bank account(s). On April 18, 2023, the Court also issued an Abstract of Judgment, which the Company may use to perfect a judgment lien against NantPharma’s real property.

On February 6, 2023, the Company applied ex parte to the Court for a stay of enforcement of the judgment entered upon the Antibody Award until the Company is procedurally able to seek an offset of the judgment entered upon the Antibody Award by the amount of the Final Judgment that the Company has petitioned the Court to confirm and enter judgment upon. The Nant Entities opposed the Company’s ex parte application.

On February 7, 2023, the Court granted the Company’s ex parte application in part. The Court stayed enforcement of the Antibody Award judgment for seventy days only to the extent the Antibody Award judgment exceeds the approximately $50.0 million difference of the amounts of the Antibody Award and the Final Judgment.

Following mediation in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company reached a settlement with NantPharma, NantCell, and NANTibody (along with their related parties) (collectively, the “Nant Parties”) regarding the Nant Award, the Cynviloq Award, and other legal causes of action (the “Nant Settlement”)—subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. Under the settlement, either (i) the Company will pay NantCell and NANTIbody in full in cash by August 31, 2023 to satisfy the Nant Award (the “Nant Settlement Payments”) and the Company and the Nant Parties will retain all their other respective claims and causes of action, joint venture interests, and royalty rights and obligations, or (ii) if the Company does not make the Nant Settlement Payments, then the Company and the Nant Parties will mutually release each other from any and all claims and causes of action, the Company will transfer its joint venture interests (and rights related thereto) in certain Nant Parties to the Nant Parties and the Company will receive $1.5 million from the Nant Parties in exchange for a release of the Company’s royalty rights to PD-L1 (and address certain rights and obligations related thereto). In the interim, the Company and the Nant Parties have agreed to stay all litigation matters until August 31, 2023. A hearing for the Bankruptcy Court to consider approval of the settlement is currently scheduled for August 14, 2023.

The Company has recorded an accrued legal settlement in the consolidated balance sheet of $176.6 million and $174.8 million, including post-award interest, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, relating to the Final Judgment. The accrued legal settlement has been classified as liabilities subject to compromise as of June 30, 2023 (see Note 14).

Even if the Company successfully reorganizes through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, pending litigation brought by the Company against other parties would generally continue after the Chapter 11 Cases, unless specifically released by the Company (including the potential release of claims described above).

For a discussion of the Company’s ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, see Note 1.

On May 26, 2020, Wasa Medical Holdings filed a putative federal securities class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 3:20-cv-00966-AJB-DEB, against the Company, Dr. Henry Ji and its SVP of Regulatory Affairs, Mark R. Brunswick, Ph.D. The action alleges that the Company, Dr. Ji and Dr. Brunswick made materially false and/or misleading statements to the investing public by publicly issuing false and/or misleading statements regarding STI-1499 and its ability to inhibit the SARS-CoV-2 virus infection and that such statements violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The suit seeks to recover damages caused by the alleged violations of federal securities laws, along with the plaintiffs’ reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the lawsuit, including counsel fees and expert fees. On June 11, 2020, Jeannette Calvo filed a second putative federal securities class action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 3:20-cv-01066-JAH-WVG, against the same defendants alleging the same claims and seeking the same relief. On February 12, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California issued an order consolidating the cases and appointing a lead plaintiff, Andrew Zenoff (“Plaintiff”), and lead counsel. On April 5, 2021, Plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint in accordance with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California’s scheduling order. Pursuant to that scheduling order, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss on May 20, 2021 and Plaintiff filed its opposition to the motion on July 2, 2021. The defendants’ reply was filed on August 4, 2021. On or about November 18, 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California issued an order granting the motion to dismiss with leave to amend. On November 30, 2021, Plaintiff filed a first amended consolidated complaint. On December 30, 2021, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the first amended consolidated complaint. Pursuant to a stipulated scheduling order, the defendants filed their opposition to the motion on February 7, 2022, and the Plaintiff filed its reply on February 28, 2022. On April 11, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California issued an order granting the motion to dismiss with leave to file an amended complaint by April 22, 2022. Plaintiff did not file an amended complaint by April 22, 2022. On June 2, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California directed the clerk of the court to enter judgment in favor of defendants and close the case. On June 3, 2022, judgment was entered in favor of defendants, and the case was closed. On June 30, 2022, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Case No. 22-55641). On October 3, 2022, Plaintiff/Appellant filed an opening brief. On December 2, 2022, the defendants/appellees’ filed their answering brief. On January 23, 2023, Plaintiff/Appellant filed his reply brief. The Company is defending these matters vigorously.

On July 26, 2021, Sachin Chaudhari filed a verified stockholder derivative complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 0723211, against Dr. Ji, Mr. Brunswick, and the Company’s Board of Directors as defendants, and against the Company as a nominal defendant. The action alleges, among other things, that defendants breached their fiduciary duties, violated Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, engaged in waste and were unjustly enriched in connection with the alleged false and misleading statements referenced above. The suit seeks to recover on behalf of the Company those damages caused by the alleged breaches of duty and related claims, along with the plaintiffs’ reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the lawsuit, including counsel fees and expert fees. On July 27, 2021, Michael Sabatina filed a verified stockholder derivative complaint in the Delaware Chancery Court, Case No. 2021-0654 against Dr. Ji and Mr. Brunswick as defendants and against the Company as a nominal defendant alleging the same general claims and seeking the same general relief.

The Company is defending these matters vigorously.

In April 2023, the Company and the respective landlords for the premises leased by the Company located at 4930 Directors Place, 9151 Rehco Road and 4690 Executive Drive, San Diego, California, 92121, executed stipulations and agreed orders, which the Bankruptcy Court approved, pursuant to which the Company and each such landlord agreed to reject the respective lease agreements. In conjunction with signing the leases, the Company established a cash collateral account and issued letters of credit to the landlords for a total of $4.1 million, which was drawn by the landlords upon rejection of the leases. The cash collateral drawn was recorded as lease termination cost. The Company derecognized the related right-of-use assets and liabilities, which resulted in a gain of $0.6 million. The lease termination cost and the gain on derecognition were included in Reorganizations items, net in the consolidated statement of operations.

The termination of the 4930 Directors Place lease resulted in remeasurements of four other leases as their lease terms were previously extended to be coterminous with the lease end date for the 4930 Directors Place lease. As the 4930 Directors Place lease was terminated, the lease terms of the other four leases reverted back to their original terms. The related remeasurements resulted in a decrease to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $25.8 million.

In April 2023, Scilex Holding modified the lease term for its principal executive office located in Palo Alto, California. The modification extended the lease term for an additional three years, with the lease term expiring in September 2027. As a result of the modification, Scilex Holding recognized additional ROU assets and corresponding lease liabilities of $2.5 million.

Income Taxes

11. Income Taxes

The Company maintains deferred tax assets that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The deferred tax assets include net operating loss carryforwards, research credits and temporary differences. In assessing the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers, on a periodic basis, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As such, management has determined that it is appropriate to maintain a valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets, except for an amount equal to schedulable deferred tax liabilities.

The stock dividend of Scilex Common Stock (see Note 8) is a taxable distribution of property governed by Section 311(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, the Company recognized an income tax liability of $12.7 million as of June 30, 2023 through tax expense.

The Company’s income tax expense of $12.1 million and $0.4 million reflect effective tax rates of 4.8% and 0.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company’s income tax expense of $0.7 million and income tax benefit of $1.1 million reflect effective tax rates of 0.7% and 0.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The difference between the expected statutory federal tax rate of 21% and the 4.8% effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to changes in valuation allowance, offset by gain recognized on distribution of Scilex Common Stock. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, when compared to the same period in 2022, the increase in tax expense and effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the gain recognized on distribution of Scilex Common Stock.

Segment Information

13. Segment Information

The Company operates in two operating and reportable segments, Sorrento Therapeutics and Scilex. With the exception of unrestricted cash balances, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker does not regularly review asset information by reportable segment and, therefore, it does not report asset information by reportable segment. The majority of long-lived assets for both segments are located in the United States.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the subsidiaries of Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”). For consolidated entities where the Company owns or is exposed to less than 100% of the economics, the Company records net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in its consolidated statements of operations equal to the percentage of the economic or ownership interest retained in such entities by the respective noncontrolling parties. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 16, 2023. Operating results for interim periods are not expected to be indicative of operating results for the Company’s 2023 fiscal year, or any subsequent period. The unaudited interim financial statements included herein reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.

Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11

Voluntary Filing Under Chapter 11

As previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2023, on February 13, 2023 (the “Petition Date”), the Company and its wholly owned direct subsidiary, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Scintilla” and together with the Company, the “Debtors”), commenced voluntary proceedings under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Chapter 11 proceedings are jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court under the caption In re Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., et al. (the “Chapter 11 Cases”). The Debtors continue to operate their business in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

On February 28, 2023, the Office of the United States Trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”) appointed an Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, which was reconstituted on March 28, 2023, June 7, 2023 and July 28, 2023. The purpose of the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors is to represent the interests of the Debtors’ unsecured creditors. On April 10, 2023, the U.S. Trustee appointed an Official Committee of Equity Security Holders, which was reconstituted on April 14, 2023. The purpose of the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders is to represent the interests of the Debtors’ equity security holders.

Nant Arbitration / Mediation

Nant Arbitration / Mediation

Prior to commencing the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company had engaged in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against NantPharma, LLC (“NantPharma”) relating to breaches of the May 14, 2015 Stock Sale and Purchase Agreement entered into between the Company and NantPharma related to the development of the cancer drug Cynviloq™ (the “Cynviloq Arbitration”). In April 2019, the Company filed an action in the Los Angeles Superior Court (the “Court”) derivatively on behalf of Immunotherapy NANTibody LLC (“NANTibody”) against NantCell, Inc. (“NantCell”) and Patrick Soon-Shiong, among others, related to alleged breaches of the June 11, 2015 Limited Liability Company Agreement for NANTibody entered into between the Company and NantCell (the “Derivative Action”). The suit alleges breaches of fiduciary duties and seeks, among other things, a declaration that the Assignment Agreement entered into on July 2, 2017, between NantPharma and NANTibody is void and an equitable unwinding of the Assignment Agreement. The suit calls for the restoration of $90.05 million to the NANTibody capital account, thereby restoring its equity method investment in NANTibody to its invested amount as of June 30, 2017 of $40.0 million.

Additionally, in 2020, the Company filed a legal action against Patrick Soon-Shiong in the Court, asserting claims for fraudulent inducement and common law fraud alleging that, among other things, Dr. Soon-Shiong acquired the drug Cynviloq for the purpose of halting its progression to the market. This action is pending.

The Company had also engaged in arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against NantCell and NANTibody relating to alleged breaches of the April 21, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between the Company and NantCell and the June 11, 2015 Exclusive License Agreement entered into between the Company and NANTibody (the “NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration”).

On December 2, 2022, the arbitrator in the NantCell/NANTibody Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages and pre-award interest in the amounts of $156,829,562 to NantCell and $16,681,521 to NANTibody, exclusive of post-award, prejudgment interest, which will accrue at 9% per annum (the “Nant Award”). On December 20, 2022, the arbitrator in the Cynviloq Arbitration issued an award granting contractual damages of $125 million to the Company, reflecting the value of lost milestone payments for the

approval of Cynviloq for the treatment of breast and lung cancers (the “Cynviloq Award”).

On February 7, 2023, the Court confirmed the Nant Award and issued a 70-day stay of enforcement of the judgment beyond $50 million (i.e., the difference between the amount of the Nant Award and amount of the Cynviloq Award). Following such confirmation, the Company believed that NantCell and NANTibody, in an attempt to satisfy the unstayed $50 million portion of the Nant Award, would imminently take steps to levy its assets, which would cause significant disruption and harm to the Company’s business, including its ability to continue developing life-saving and cutting-edge drugs. To protect the Company’s business and maximize its value, on February 13, 2023, the Company commenced the Chapter 11 Cases.

On March 16, 2023, the Court granted the Company’s motion to confirm the award in the Cynviloq Arbitration over NantPharma’s opposition. On April 7, 2023, the Court entered final judgment (the “Final Judgment”) upon the confirmed award in the Company’s favor in the amount of $127,686,210, which includes arbitration costs and accrued interest on the award since December 20, 2022. The Final Judgment is accruing interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum from March 16, 2023.

Following mediation in the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company reached a settlement with NantPharma, NantCell and NANTibody (along with their related parties) (collectively, the “Nant Parties”) regarding the Nant Award, the Cynviloq Award, and other legal causes of action (the “Nant Settlement”)—subject to Bankruptcy Court approval. Under the settlement, either (i) the Company will pay NantCell and NANTIbody in full in cash by August 31, 2023 to satisfy the Nant Award (the “Nant Settlement Payments”) and the Company and the Nant Parties will retain all their other respective claims and causes of action, joint venture interests, and royalty rights and obligations, or (ii) if the Company does not make the Nant Settlement Payments, then the Company and the Nant Parties will mutually release each other from any and all claims and causes of action, the Company will transfer its joint venture interests (and rights related thereto) in certain Nant Parties to the Nant Parties, and the Company will receive $1.5 million from the Nant Parties in exchange for a release of the Company’s royalty rights to PD-L1 (and address certain rights and obligations related thereto). In the interim, the Company and the Nant Parties have agreed to stay all litigation matters until August 31, 2023. A hearing for the Bankruptcy Court to consider approval of the settlement is currently scheduled for August 14, 2023.

Sale Procedures

Sale Procedures

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 20, 2023, on April 14, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving procedures for the Debtors to conduct a dual-track (i) financing process for the potential raising of debt, equity, or hybrid financing or consummation of a restructuring transaction through a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization and (ii) marketing process for the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Debtors’ assets under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, including (x) the Debtors’ equity interests in its non-debtor subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, Scilex Holding Company (“Scilex Holding”), and (y) the Debtors’ other assets. The sale and financing process remains ongoing. As set forth in greater detail below, the Company has entered into a stalking horse purchase agreement for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s equity interests in Scilex Holding.

On April 27, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order providing that the Company may consummate one or more block sales of its shares of common stock of Scilex Holding without requiring any further approval from the Bankruptcy Court, subject to certain other conditions set forth in the order (namely, the prior approval from the Debtors’ lender in their Chapter 11 Cases, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders). As of August 10, 2023, the Debtors have not consummated any such block sales.

On June 12, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court also entered an order approving certain sale procedures for the Debtors to sell certain “de minimis” assets (up to $10 million in the aggregate) on an expedited basis and subject to certain notice and consent requirements (as applicable depending on the type of de minimis asset or stock). As of the date hereof, the Debtors have not consummated any such de minimis asset sales.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Senior DIP Facility

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Senior DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 22, 2023 (the “February 22 Form 8-K”), on February 19, 2023, the Debtors executed that certain Debtor-In-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Senior DIP Term Sheet”) with JMB Capital Partners Lending, LLC (“JMB Capital” or the “Senior DIP Lender”), pursuant to which JMB Capital (or its designees or its assignees) provided the Debtors with a non-amortizing super-priority senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $75,000,000 in term loan commitments (the “Senior DIP Facility”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet.

As previously disclosed in the February 22 Form 8-K, at a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on February 21, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Senior DIP Order”) approving the Senior DIP Facility on an interim basis and providing the Debtors with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Senior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Senior DIP Term Sheet, the Debtors were authorized to make a single, initial draw of $30,000,000 on the Senior DIP Facility (the “Senior Draw”). The Debtors then negotiated and executed definitive financing documentation, including a Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement

(the “Senior DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Senior DIP Facility (collectively with the Senior DIP Credit Agreement, the “Senior DIP Documents”).

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court on March 29, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (the “Final Senior DIP Order”) approving the Senior DIP Facility on a final basis and providing the Debtors with access to the remaining $45,000,000 of the Senior DIP Facility (subject to the terms, conditions, and covenants set forth in the Senior DIP Documents), through additional draws of no less than $5,000,000, each upon five business days’ written notice to the Senior DIP Lender (as defined above), and the Debtors and Senior DIP Lender proceeded to enter into the Senior DIP Documents on March 30, 2023. The Senior DIP Facility matured on July 31, 2023 and was repaid in full on August 9, 2023 from proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility (as defined below).

See Note 7 for further discussion of the key terms of the Senior DIP Facility.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Junior DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 10, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, on July 5, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an interim order (the “Interim Junior DIP Order”) approving the Junior DIP Facility (as defined below) on an interim basis and providing the Company with liquidity to continue to operate during the Chapter 11 process. Upon entry of the Interim Junior DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Junior DIP Term Sheet, the Company was authorized to make (and did make) a single draw of the Junior DIP Facility (the “Junior Draw”), which is subject to a certain intercreditor and subordination agreement entered into by and among the Senior DIP Lender and the Junior DIP Lender (the “Subordination Agreement”). The Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving the Junior DIP Facility on a final basis (the “Final Junior DIP Order”) on July 27, 2023.

On July 5, 2023, the Company executed that certain Debtor-in-Possession Term Loan Facility Summary of Terms and Conditions (the “Junior DIP Term Sheet”) with its subsidiary, Scilex Holding (the “Junior DIP Lender”), pursuant to which Scilex Holding (or its designees or its assignees) has provided the Company with a non-amortizing super-priority junior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the sum of (i) $20,000,000 (the “Base Amount”), plus (ii) the amount of the commitment fee and the funding fee, each equal to 1% of the Base Amount, plus (iii) the amount of the DIP Lender Holdback (as defined in the Interim Junior DIP Order) (the “Junior DIP Facility”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Junior DIP Term Sheet. The Junior DIP Term Sheet grants to Scilex Holding a right of first refusal to provide any debtor-in-possession financing during the course of the Chapter 11 Cases to the Company occurring after the date of the Interim Junior DIP Order until the Chapter 11 Cases are concluded. In connection with the Junior DIP Term Sheet, Scilex Holding entered into the Subordination Agreement with the Senior DIP Lender, which specifies that the Junior DIP Facility is subordinated in right of payment to the Senior DIP Facility as more fully set forth therein. The Debtors negotiated and executed other definitive financing documentation, including a Junior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Junior DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Junior DIP Facility (collectively with the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the “Junior DIP Documents”).

The Junior DIP Facility will bear interest at a per annum rate of 12.00% payable in kind on the first day of each month in arrears and on the DIP Termination Date (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement, the interest rate on outstanding DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement) would increase by 2.00% per annum. The commitment fee and the funding fee described above shall be payable upon the funding of the DIP Loans (as defined in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement), in each case as set forth in the Junior DIP Credit Agreement.

Further, in no event shall the Junior DIP Facility mature before the maturity date of the Senior DIP Facility obligations as in effect on the date of the Interim DIP Order. Pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the Debtors’ obligations to the Junior DIP Lender under the Junior DIP Facility are subordinated to the obligations of the Debtors to the Senior DIP Lender on the terms and conditions set forth therein.

Debtor-In-Possession Financing - Replacement DIP Facility

As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 10, 2023, after a hearing before the Bankruptcy Court, on August 7, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final order (the “Replacement DIP Order”) approving the Replacement DIP Facility (as defined below) on a final basis.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Oramed” and, in its capacity as lender under the Replacement DIP Facility, the “Replacement DIP Lender”) has agreed to provide the Company with a non-amortizing super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 (the “Replacement DIP Facility” and together with the Junior DIP Facility, the “DIP Facilities”), pursuant to definitive financing documentation entered into on August 9, 2023, including a Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Replacement DIP Credit Agreement”) and other documents evidencing the Replacement DIP Facility (collectively with the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement, the “Replacement DIP Documents”). Upon entry of the Replacement DIP Order and satisfaction of all applicable conditions precedent, as set forth in the Replacement DIP Documents, the Debtors were authorized to make (and did make) a single draw of the entire amount of the Replacement DIP Facility. The Debtors used the proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility to, among other things, repay the Senior DIP Facility in full on August 9, 2023. After applying approximately $82 million of the proceeds from the Replacement DIP Facility to pay off the Senior DIP Facility in full, the remaining proceeds of the Replacement DIP Facility are expected to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Debtors, subject to the budgets contemplated in the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement, the payment of certain statutory fees and allowed professional fees of the Debtors, bankruptcy-related expenses and fees, expenses, interest and other amounts payable under the Replacement DIP Facility.

The Replacement DIP Facility bears interest at a per annum rate equal to 15%, payable in cash on the first day of each month in arrears (and a default interest rate that shall accrue at an additional per annum rate of 3% plus the non-default interest, payable in cash on the first day of each month) and other fees and charges as described in the Replacement DIP Documents. The Replacement DIP Facility is secured by first-priority priming liens on substantially all of the Debtors’ assets (that prime, among other things, the liens under the Junior DIP Facility), subject to certain enumerated exceptions.

The Replacement DIP Facility matures on the earliest of: (i) October 15, 2023; (ii) the effective date of any Chapter 11 plan of reorganization with respect to the Debtors; (iii) the consummation of any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Debtors’ assets pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) the date of the acceleration of the DIP Obligations in accordance with (and as defined in) the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement; (v) the dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or conversion of the Chapter 11 Cases into cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (vi) the date of termination of the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement (as defined below) or other definitive documentation related to the subject matter thereof, solely in the event such termination results from a material breach of such documentation by any Loan Party (as defined in the Replacement DIP Credit Agreement) or other seller thereunder; and (vii) the date on which a “Trigger Event” (as defined in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Scilex Holding) has occurred. The Replacement DIP Facility does not contain a roll-up or cross-collateralization of prepetition debt or otherwise dictate how prepetition claims will be addressed in a Chapter 11 plan.

The Replacement DIP Credit Agreement contains customary conditions, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default for similar types of agreements. The Debtors have agreed to indemnify the Replacement DIP Lender against certain liabilities arising in connection with the Replacement DIP Facility.

Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement

The Replacement DIP Order also approved that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 7, 2023 (the “Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement”), between the Company and Oramed relating to the purchase and sale of (A) 59,726,737 shares of the common stock of Scilex Holding (the “Scilex Common Stock”), (B) 29,057,096 shares of Series A preferred stock of Scilex Holding (the “Scilex Preferred Shares”), which constitutes one fewer Scilex Preferred Share (the “Remaining Preferred Share”) than all of the issued and outstanding Scilex Preferred Shares; and (C) warrants exercisable for 4,490,617 shares of Scilex Common Stock (“Scilex Warrants”), of which 1,386,617 Scilex Warrants are ”public warrants” and 3,104,000 Scilex Warrants are “private placement” warrants issued in connection with the initial public offering of the special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) that merged with Scilex Holding for its initial business combination and which the Company acquired from the SPAC sponsor (“Sponsor”) in accordance with the terms of a warrant transfer agreement between the Company and the Sponsor ((A), (B) and (C) collectively, the “Scilex Purchased Securities”). The sale of the Scilex Purchased Securities would be conducted pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Pursuant to the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement, Oramed agreed to buy, and the Company agreed to sell (following an auction of the Scilex Purchased Securities (the “Auction”) that is scheduled to commence on August 14, 2023 (if another qualified bidder emerges) and subject to further Bankruptcy Court approval in the form of a sale order (the “Sale Order”)) the Scilex Purchased Securities for a purchase price (subject to the submission of higher or otherwise better offers in accordance with the approved procedures for the Auction) of $105 million (the “Purchase Price”) (which purchase price shall consist of a credit bid on a dollar-for-dollar basis in respect of the full amount of outstanding obligations as of the closing date under the Replacement DIP Facility, with the

remaining balance to be paid in cash to the Company). The Company has also granted Oramed an option in the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement to purchase up to 2,259,058 additional shares of Scilex Common Stock held in abeyance for the benefit of certain holders of warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Option Shares”). Such option will be exercisable for a period of 30 days after the Company notifies Oramed that the Company no longer holds all or part of such Option Shares in abeyance and can freely transfer such Option Shares to Oramed. The purchase price per Option Share payable by Oramed in connection with the exercise of such option shall be $1.13 per Option Share. The sale of the Scilex Purchased Securities by the Company to Oramed is subject to the Auction and a further order from the Bankruptcy Court approving such sale before such purchase and sale becomes a final agreement between the parties thereto. The Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement also contained certain stalking horse protections (the “Stalking Horse Protections”), consisting of (A) a break-up fee payable to Oramed of $3,412,500 and (B) reimbursement of costs and expenses of external counsel up to $1 million (to the extent not paid under the Replacement DIP Facility), in each case, payable to Oramed one business day following the closing of an Alternative Transaction (as defined in the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement, being a sale of any portion of the Scilex Purchased Securities to a party other than Oramed or its affiliate(s)) if the Stalking Horse Stock Purchase Agreement is or has been terminated in certain circumstances. Payments pursuant to the Stalking Horse Protections shall be treated as an allowed superiority administrative expense claim in the Debtors’ bankruptcy case pursuant to Section 503(b)(1) and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Stalking Horse Protections were approved in the Replacement DIP Order and are not subject to any further approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

Automatic Stay

Automatic Stay

Subject to certain specific exceptions under the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Petitions automatically stayed most judicial or administrative actions against the Debtors and efforts by creditors to collect on or otherwise exercise rights or remedies with respect to pre-petition claims. Absent an order from the Bankruptcy Court, substantially all of the Debtors’ pre-petition liabilities are subject to settlement under the Bankruptcy Code.

Executory Contracts

Executory Contracts

Subject to certain exceptions, under the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors may assume, amend or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court and certain other conditions. Generally, the rejection of an executory contract or unexpired lease is treated as a pre-petition breach of such executory contract or unexpired lease and, subject to certain exceptions, relieves the Debtors from performing their future obligations under such executory contract or unexpired lease but entitles the contract counterparty or lessor to a prepetition general unsecured claim for damages caused by such deemed breach. Generally, the assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease requires the Debtors to cure existing monetary defaults under such executory contract or unexpired lease and provide adequate assurance of future performance. Accordingly, any description of an executory contract or unexpired lease with the Debtors in this document, including, where applicable, a quantification of the Company’s obligations under any such executory contract or unexpired lease of the Debtors, is qualified by any overriding rejection rights the Company has under the Bankruptcy Code. As of June 30, 2023, no motions were filed with the Bankruptcy Court (and none remain on the Bankruptcy Docket) to assume, amend or reject certain executory contracts; the Debtors did, however, file certain agreed stipulations to reject certain unexpired leases, which the Bankruptcy Court approved and entered on April 13, 2023 and April 24, 2023.

See Note 10 for further discussion of the rejected leases.

Claims Reconciliation

Claims Reconciliation

The Debtors have filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of each of the Debtors, subject to the assumptions filed in connection therewith. These schedules and statements may be subject to further amendment or modification after filing. Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, certain holders of pre-petition claims that are not governmental units were required to file proofs of claim by June 26, 2023 (the "General Bar Date"), the general claims bar date. Governmental units are required to file proofs of claim by August 12, 2023.

As of the General Bar Date, approximately 358 proofs of claim have been filed against the Debtors. This includes duplicate and amended claims. The Debtors are in the process of reviewing, investigating, and reconciling proofs of claims filed against the Debtors with the amounts reflected in their books and records. The Debtors will continue the claims reconciliation process and object, as necessary, to asserted claims, including on the basis that they have been amended or superseded by subsequently filed proofs of claims, are without merit, have already been paid, are overstated or should be adjusted or expunged for other reasons. As a result of this process, the Debtors may identify additional liabilities that will need to be recorded or reclassified to liabilities subject to compromise. As part of its ongoing review, except to the extent otherwise disclosed, the Company is not aware of any claims that may require a material adjustment to the accounts and balances as reported as of June 30, 2023.

Listing

Listing

On February 13, 2023, the Company received written notice (the “Delisting Notice”) from the staff of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) notifying the Company that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases and in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rules 5101,

5110(b) and IM-5101-1, the staff of Nasdaq had determined that the Company’s common stock would be delisted from Nasdaq, effective February 23, 2023. In the Delisting Notice, the staff of Nasdaq referenced the Chapter 11 Cases and associated public concerns raised by them, concerns regarding the residual equity interest of the existing listed securities holders and concerns about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq. In accordance with the Delisting Notice, trading of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq was suspended at the opening of business on February 23, 2023, and at such time, the Company’s common stock commenced trading on the Pink Open Market under the symbol “SRNEQ”.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

To prepare consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S., management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Adoption of ASC 852

Adoption of ASC 852

Beginning on the Petition Date, the Company applied Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification Topic 852, Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing the consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for the periods subsequent to the Petition Date and up to and including the period of emergence from Chapter 11, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during the bankruptcy proceedings, such as legal and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the bankruptcy proceeding are recorded as Reorganization items, net in the consolidated statements of operations. In addition, prepetition obligations that may be impacted by the Chapter 11 process have been classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023 as liabilities subject to compromise. These liabilities are reported at the amounts the Company anticipates will be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. See Note 14 and Note 15 for more information.

Convertible Debentures

Convertible Debentures

The Company has elected the fair value option to account for the Scilex Holding Convertible Debentures (as defined in Note 7). The Company recorded the Convertible Debentures at fair value upon issuance. The Company records changes in fair value in the consolidated statements of operations, with the exception of changes in fair value due to instrument-specific credit risk which, if present, will be recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. Interest expense related to the Convertible Debentures 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 were expensed as incurred.

Customer Concentration Risk

Customer Concentration Risk

Scilex Holding had three customers during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, each of which individually generated 10% or more of the Company’s consolidated gross product revenue. These customers accounted for 88% and 85% of the Company’s consolidated gross product revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, individually ranging from 24% to 32% and 22% to 32%, respectively. As of June 30, 2023, these customers represented 81% of the Company’s outstanding accounts receivable, individually ranging from 21% to 30%. Additionally, during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, Scilex Holding purchased inventory from its sole supplier, Itochu Chemical Frontier Corporation. This exposes Scilex Holding to concentration of customer and supplier risk. Scilex Holding monitors the financial condition of its customers, limits its credit exposure by setting credit limits, and has not experienced any credit losses during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

Inventory

Inventory

As of June 30, 2023, net inventory was $9.7 million, comprised of $3.0 million of finished goods and $6.7 million of raw materials and supplies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of the standard beginning January 1, 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
