(the "Company") entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated by a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Scilex SPA") with Scilex Holding Company ("Scilex") and Acquiom Agency Services LLC (the "Agent"). Pursuant to the Scilex SPA, in exchange for Scilex assuming certain outstanding obligations of Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., Scilex issued to the Company a Senior Secured Promissory Note due 18 months from the date of issuance in the principal amount of $101,875,000 (the "Tranche A Note"), as well as certain warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Scilex. The foregoing descriptions of the Scilex SPA and the Tranche A Note and the transactions contemplated thereby are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the Scilex SPA and the Tranche A Note attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 21, 2023, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Also as previously disclosed, on October 7, 2024, the Company entered into and consummated the transactions contemplated by a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "2024 SPA") with certain institutional investors ("Investors") and Scilex to refinance a portion of the Tranche A Note and pay off certain other indebtedness of Scilex. Pursuant to the 2024 SPA, Scilex issued to the Company and Investors a new tranche B of senior secured convertible notes of Scilex ("Tranche B Notes") and warrants to purchase shares of Scilex's common stock. Scilex received from the Company, in consideration for the Tranche B Note and the related warrants issued to the Company, an exchange and reduction of the principal outstanding balance under the Tranche A Note of $22,500,000. In connection with the 2024 SPA, the Company, Investors and the Agent entered into an agreement (the "Agreement Among Holders"), pursuant to which the Company and Investor agreed that, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, the payment of the obligations in respect of the Tranche B Notes are subject to the prior payment in full of all obligations in respect of the Tranche A Note up to the Maximum First Out Amount (as defined in the Agreement Among Holders). In addition, in consideration for its interest in certain rights pursuant to a royalty purchase agreement (the "Royalty Purchase Agreement") with Scilex and Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc., the Company exchanged and reduced $2,500,000 of the principal balance under the Tranche A Note. The foregoing descriptions of the 2024 SPA, the Tranche B Note, the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the Agreement Among Holders and the transactions contemplated thereby are not complete and are subject to and qualified in their entirety by reference to the copies of the 2024 SPA, the Tranche A Note, the Royalty Purchase Agreement and the Agreement Among Holders attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.5 and 10.12, respectively, to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated October 8, 2024, and are incorporated herein by reference.

On October 24, 2024, the Company received an additional payment of approximately $1,000,000 pursuant to the terms of the Tranche A Note, which requires mandatory prepayments of 70% of the net cash proceeds received by Scilex from any debt or equity financings, subject to certain conditions and exceptions. After giving effect to such payment, an aggregate of $80,200,000 of the original principal amount under Tranche A Note has been repaid or refinanced.
