Notes to Consolidated financial Statements
NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
| a. | General |
Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company,” unless the context indicates otherwise), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated on April 12, 2002.
On February 17, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Hadasit Medical Services and Development Ltd. to acquire the provisional patent related to an orally ingestible insulin capsule to be used for the treatment of individuals with diabetes.
On May 14, 2007, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Israel, Oramed Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), which is engaged in research and development.
On March 18, 2021, the Company entered into a license agreement with Oravax Medical Inc. (“Oravax”) and holds 63% of the issued and outstanding share capital of Oravax, on a fully diluted basis, as of the date of issuance. Consequently, Oramed consolidates Oravax in its consolidated financial statements since that time.
On July 1, 2024, the Company incorporated a wholly-owned subsidiary in Nevada, Oramed NewCo, Inc. (“OraTech”), which intends to serve as the company for the joint venture with Hefei Tianhui Biotech Co., Ltd. (“HTIT”), see note 15 (b)
On January 11, 2023, the Company announced that the ORA-D-013-1 Phase 3 trial did not meet its primary or secondary endpoints. As a result, the Company terminated this trial and a parallel Phase 3, ORA-D-013-2 clinical trial. As these results are considered a triggering event, the Company evaluated all of its long lived assets which include fixed assets and operating lease right-of-use assets in the first quarter of 2023 and concluded that no impairment was required.
In 2023, the Company completed an analysis of the data from the ORA-D-013-1 Phase 3 trial and found that subpopulations of patients with pooled specific parameters, such as body mass index (BMI), baseline HbA1c and age, responded well to oral insulin. These subsets exhibited an over 1% placebo adjusted, statistically significant, reduction in HbA1c. Based on this analysis, on September 12, 2024 the Company submitted protocol ORA-D-013-3 Phase 3 to focus on the subpopulations with the higher probability to show efficacy. The Company intends to initiate a study during 2025. Moreover, the Company is examining its existing pipeline and has commenced an evaluation process of potential strategic opportunities, with the goal of enhancing value for the Company’s stockholders.
See note 4 regarding 2023 Scilex Transaction and 2024 Refinancing.
See note 7 regarding Short-Term Borrowings.
See note 15 regarding JV Supplemental Agreement.
| b. | Basis of presentation |
The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
| c. | Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements |
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the financial statements date and the reported revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
As applicable to these consolidated financial statements, the most significant estimates and assumptions relate to stock-based compensation and to the investments at fair value (for further details, see note 4).
| d. | Functional currency |
The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”). Therefore, the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is the dollar.
Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in foreign currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for non-monetary and monetary balances, respectively. For foreign transactions and other items reflected in the statements of operations, the following exchange rates are used: (1) for transactions – exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates and (2) for other items (derived from non-monetary balance sheet items such as depreciation) – historical exchange rates. The resulting transaction gains or losses are carried to financial income or expenses, as appropriate.
| e. | Repurchase and retirement of common stock |
The Company debited the common stock account by the par value of the shares retired and allocated the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of the shares to additional paid in capital.
| f. | Principles of consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
| g. | Cash equivalents |
The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid investments, which include short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, to be cash equivalents.
| h. | Fair value measurement: |
The Company measures fair value and discloses fair value measurements for financial assets and liabilities. Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In order to increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described as follows:
| Level 1: | Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. |
| Level 2: | Observable prices that are based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| Level 3: | Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. The fair value hierarchy gives the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. |
| h. | Fair value measurement (continued): |
The Company’s financial assets subject to fair value measurements on a recurring basis and the level of inputs used in such measurements were as follows:
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | ||||
| Marketable Securities | ||||
| DNA | 424 | - | - | 424 |
| Entera | 248 | - | - | 248 |
| Scilex | 2,769 | - | - | 2,769 |
| Subsequent Penny Warrants (see note 4) | - | 2,772 | - | 2,772 |
| Warrants Note B (see note 4) | - | - | 548 | 548 |
| Tranche A Note (see note 4) | - | - | 13,714 | 13,714 |
| Tranche B Note (see note 4) | - | - | 15,798 | 15,798 |
| Royalty Purchase Agreement (see note 4) | - | - | 1,976 | 1,976 |
| Profit Sharing Loan Agreement (see note 4 (e)) | - | - | 1,367 | 1,367 |
| $3,441 | $2,772 | $33,403 | $39,616 | |
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets: | ||||
| Marketable Securities | ||||
| DNA | 297 | - | - | 297 |
| Entera | 70 | - | - | 70 |
| Transferred Warrants (see note 4) | 1,440 | - | - | 1,440 |
| Closing Penny Warrant (see note 4) | - | 9,180 | - | 9,180 |
| Subsequent Penny Warrants (see note 4) | - | - | 6,502 | 6,502 |
| The Note (see note 4) | - | - | 93,066 | 93,066 |
| $1,807 | $9,180 | $99,568 | $110,555 | |
As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the carrying amounts of cash equivalents, short-term deposits, Short-Term Borrowings (as defined in Note 7), and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The amounts funded in respect of employee rights are stated at cash surrender value which approximates its fair value.
| i. | Marketable securities |
The Company measured the securities (investments in equity securities of DNA group (T.R.) Ltd. (“DNA”), Entera Bio Ltd. (“Entera”) and Scilex Holding Company (“Scilex”) at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. The Company intends to exercise these investments during 2025, and has classified the marketable securities as short-term accordingly.
| j. | Other non-marketable equity securities |
The Company also invested in non-marketable equity securities, through an investment in a privately held company. This equity investment does not have a readily determinable fair value. The investment is measured under the measurement alternative in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 321 “Investments – Equity Securities” to the extent such an investment is not subject to consolidation or the equity method. Under the measurement alternative, this equity investment is carried at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes in transactions for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. The investment would be impaired in accordance with the provisions of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurement” if, based on a qualitative assessment of impairment indicators, the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying amount. If considered impaired, the difference between the carrying amount and fair value would be recorded in the consolidated statement of income (loss). For further details, see note 5.
| k. | Investments, at fair value |
The Company invested in the Tranche A Note (as defined in note 4), Tranche B Note (as defined in note 4) (collectively the “Notes”), Penny Warrants and Royalty Purchase Agreement issued by Scilex, for which it has elected the fair value option. Under the Fair Value Option Subsections of ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments – Overall, the Company has the irrevocable option to report financial assets at fair value on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Scilex also issued to the Company the Note A Transferred Warrants and Note B Warrants (as defined in note 4) that meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”. Therefore, the Warrants will be measured at fair value initially and on every reporting period.
The Company entered into a loan agreement to finance a real estate project. The Company decided to designate the Profit Sharing Loan Agreement (as define in note 4) as a whole under the Fair-Value option in accordance with ASC Topic 825 “Financial Instruments”.
Changes in the fair value are recorded under financial income (expenses), net.
| l. | Concentration of credit risks |
Financial instruments that subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short and long-term deposits, which are deposited in major financial institutions, Profit Sharing Loan Agreement, Royalty Purchase Agreement and the Notes. The Company is of the opinion that the credit risk in respect of these balances is remote, except for the Profit Sharing Loan Agreement, Royalty Purchase Agreement and the Notes for which the Company is of the opinion there is a credit risk, which is reflected in its fair value measurement (for further details, see note 4).
| m. | Income taxes |
| 1. | Deferred taxes |
Deferred taxes are determined utilizing the asset and liability method based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities under the applicable tax laws. Deferred tax balances are computed using the tax rates expected to be in effect when those differences reverse. A valuation allowance in respect of deferred tax assets is provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance with respect to its deferred tax assets. See note 12.
Taxes that would apply in the event of disposal of investments in the Israeli subsidiary have not been taken into account in computing deferred taxes, as it is the Company’s intention to hold this investment, not to realize it.
| 2. | Uncertainty in income tax |
The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount that is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Such liabilities are classified as long-term, unless the liability is expected to be resolved within 12 months from the balance sheet date. The Company’s policy is to include interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within income tax expenses.
| n. | Revenue recognition |
HTIT
On November 30, 2015, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement, with HTIT and on December 21, 2015, the parties entered into an Amended and Restated Technology License Agreement that was further amended by the parties on June 3, 2016 and July 24, 2016 (the “HTIT License Agreement”).
As of December 31, 2024, an aggregate amount of $22,382 was allocated to the HTIT License Agreement, all of which were received through December 31, 2024. Through December 31, 2023, the Company recognized revenue associated with this agreement in the aggregate amount of $20,382, of which $1,340 was recognized in the year ended December 31, 2023, and deferred the remaining amount of $2,000, which is presented as long-term deferred revenues on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company did not recognize revenue related to the HTIT License Agreement in the year ended December 31, 2024. See note 15 regarding the JV Supplemental Agreement.
Medicox
On November 13, 2022, the Company entered into a distribution license agreement (“Medicox License Agreement”) with Medicox Co., Ltd. (“Medicox”). The Medicox License Agreement grants Medicox an exclusive license to apply for regulatory approval and distribute ORMD-0801 in the Republic of Korea. For further details, see note 8b.
Under ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” the Company identified Medicox as a customer and the Medicox License Agreement as a contract with a customer.
The Company identified a performance obligation in the Medicox License Agreement to stand-ready and provide Medicox with support in its commercialization efforts in the Republic of Korea. This performance obligation includes a non-distinct distribution license for ORMD-0801, which the Company views a predominant item in the combined performance obligation. The Company concluded that the license is not distinct, as no party other than the Company is capable of providing related services to Medicox, and both the license and related services are necessary for the customer to obtain a regulatory approval in the Republic of Korea. In addition, the agreement covers the terms of future manufacturing services, that are contingent on the completion and success of the commercialization efforts.
The Medicox License Agreement contains a fixed consideration of $2,000, which was received by the Company during the year ended December 31, 2022 and is currently presented under long-term deferred revenues. It also contains variable consideration of contractual milestone payments and sales-based royalties.
The Company’s obligation to stand-ready and support Medicox will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the period the Company expects to provide support to Medicox. As of December 31, 2024, this support has not commenced, and no revenue was recognized from the Medicox License Agreement.
If Medicox proceeds with the regulatory approval process in the Republic of Korea, the Company expects most of the revenue to be recognized at a later stage, going forward. The Company notes that its Phase 3 trial did not meet its primary or secondary endpoints (see note 1a.1).
If Medicox chooses to terminate the agreement as a result of the outcome of the Phase 3 trials, the Company will accelerate revenue recognition and recognize it at such time.
| o. | Research and development |
Research and development expenses include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development programs, including the cost of salaries, stock-based compensation, employee benefits, the cost of supplies, the cost of services provided by outside contractors, including services related to the Company’s clinical trials, clinical trial expenses and the full cost of manufacturing drug for use in research and preclinical development. All costs associated with research and development are expensed as incurred.
Clinical trial costs are a significant component of research and development expenses and include costs associated with third-party contractors. The Company outsources a substantial portion of its clinical trial activities, utilizing external entities such as Clinical Research Organizations (“CROs”), independent clinical investigators, and other third-party service providers to assist the Company with the execution of its clinical trials. For each clinical trial that the Company conducts, clinical trial costs are expensed immediately.
| p. | Stock-based compensation |
Equity awards granted to employees are accounted for using the grant date fair value method. The grant date fair value is determined as follows: for stock options with an exercise price and only service conditions using the Black Scholes pricing model, for stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with market conditions using a Monte Carlo model and for RSUs with service conditions based on the grant date share price. The fair value of share based payment awards is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period. The expected term is the length of time until the expected dates of exercising the award and is estimated using the simplified method due to insufficient specific historical information of employees’ exercise behavior, unless the award includes a market condition, in which case the contractual term is used. The volatility is based on a historical volatility, by statistical analysis of the weekly share price for past periods. The Company elected to recognize compensation cost for awards granted to employees that have a graded vesting schedule using the accelerated method based on the multiple-option award approach. For awards with market conditions, compensation expense is not reversed if the market conditions are not satisfied.
The Company elects to account for forfeitures as they occur.
| q. | Income (loss) per share of common stock |
Basic net earnings (loss) per common share are computed by dividing the net earnings (loss) attributable to stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period, including vested RSUs. Outstanding stock options, warrants and unvested RSUs have been excluded from the calculation of the diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2024 because all such securities are anti-dilutive for the year ended December 31, 2024.
For the diluted earnings per share calculation for the year ended December 31, 2023, the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year is adjusted for the potential dilution that could occur in connection with employee share-based payment, using the treasury stock method. The difference in the denominator results from the dilutive impact of 251,833 RSUs.
The weighted average number of stock options, warrants and RSUs excluded from the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share was 4,582,421 and 1,227,506 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
| r. | Leases |
The Company leases real estate and cars for use in its operations, which are classified as operating leases. In addition to rent, the leases may require the Company to pay directly for fees, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses.
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right of use assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. Right of use (“ROU”) assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments. Lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components for all of its leases.
Lease terms will include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will either exercise or not exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease.
The Company’s lease agreements have remaining lease terms ranging from 4 months to 2.5 years. Some of these agreements include options to extend the leases for up to an additional 5 years and some include options to terminate the leases immediately. See Note 8d.
| s. | New accounting pronouncements |
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07 “Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This guidance expands public entities’ segment disclosures primarily by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280 “Segment Reporting”. The Company adopted this standard in the current period retrospectively to all prior periods presented in its financial statements, see note 13.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” This guidance is intended to enhance the transparency and decision-usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to disclosure regarding rate reconciliation and income taxes paid both in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions. ASU 2023-09 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2024 on a prospective basis, with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement as well as disclosures about selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.

NOTE 4 - INVESTMENTS, AT FAIR VALUE:
2023 Scilex Transaction and 2024 Refinancing
2023 Scilex Transaction
On September 21, 2023, the Company entered into and consummated the transactions (collectively, the “2023 Scilex Transaction”) contemplated by a securities purchase agreement with Scilex, pursuant to which Scilex issued to the Company:
| a. | A senior secured promissory note (the “Tranche A Note”), with a principal amount of $101,875, maturing on March 21, 2025 and bearing interest of SOFR plus 8.5%, payable in-kind. Scheduled principal payments are due on December 21, 2023, March 21, 2024, June 21, 2024, September 21, 2024, and December 21, 2024, with the balance due on March 21, 2025. In January 2025, the Company extended Tranche A Note maturity from March 21, 2025 to December 31, 2025. As per the Tranche A Note terms, if the Tranche A Note is not repaid in full on or prior to March 21, 2024, an exit fee of $3,056 is due. Since the Tranche A Note was not repaid by that date, the Company is entitled to the above-mentioned exit fee at the maturity date of the Tranche A Note. As of December 31, 2024, Scilex has repaid $69,200 of the amount due under the Tranche A Note. See the description of the Extension Agreement (as defined below). |
| The Tranche A Note constitutes senior secured indebtedness of Scilex and is guaranteed by all existing or future formed, direct and indirect, domestic subsidiaries of Scilex and is secured by a first priority security interest in and liens on all of the assets of Scilex, subject to customary and mutually agreed permitted liens and except for certain specified exemptions. |
| b. | Warrants to purchase up to 4,500,000 shares of Scilex common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share (the “Closing Penny Warrants”) and four additional warrants (the “Subsequent Penny Warrants”) each for 2,125,000 shares of Scilex common stock with an exercise price of $0.01 per share. The Closing Penny Warrants were vested on September 21, 2023, and each of the Subsequent Penny Warrants vested quarterly during 2024. The Closing Penny Warrants and the Subsequent Penny Warrants shall become exercisable on the earliest of (i) March 14, 2025 and (ii) the date on which the Tranche A Note has been repaid in full. As of December 31, 2024, 4,500,000 Closing Penny Warrants were vested according to the terms of Tranche A Note, 8,500,000 Subsequent Penny Warrants were vested according to the terms of the Tranche A Note and as per the Extension Agreement (as defined below). According to the Extension Agreement (as defined below), 4,500,000 Closing Penny Warrants and 2,000,000 Subsequent Penny Warrants have become exercisable. On October 30, 2024, the Company exercised 4,500,000 Closing Penny Warrants and 2,000,000 Subsequent Penny Warrants that were exercisable at such time. As a result the Company holds 6,500,000 shares of common stock of Scilex. |
| c. | Transferred warrants (the “Transferred Warrants”) to purchase 4,000,000 shares of Scilex common stock with an exercise price of $11.50 per share, fully exercisable and expiring on November 10, 2027. On September 20, 2024, the Company sold the Transferred Warrants for consideration of $300 (see below). As a result, as of December 31, 2024 the Company does not hold any Transferred Warrants. |
2023 Scilex Transaction and 2024 Refinancing (continued)
2023 Scilex Transaction (continued)
The Company accounted for the Transferred Warrants as derivatives measured at fair value.
The Company elected the fair value option for the Tranche A Note and the Penny Warrants in order to reduce operational complexity of bifurcating embedded derivatives. Changes in value are recorded under financial income (expense), net and include interest income on the Tranche A Note.
The valuation was performed based on several scenarios. Each scenario took into consideration the present value of the Tranche A Note’s cash flows (including the exit fee and the prepayment premium) and the Warrants’ value. The total value of the 2023 Scilex Transaction (and of each of its components) was valued on a weighted average of the different scenarios.
The discount rate of the Tranche A Note was based on the B- rating zero curve in addition to a risk premium which takes into account the credit risk of Scilex and ranged between 112% to 113%.
The fair value of the Transferred Warrants was based on their closing price on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The fair value of the Penny Warrants was calculated based on the closing price of the Scilex common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.
On September 20, 2024, the Company and Scilex entered into an extension agreement (the “Extension Agreement”) to extend the due date of the September 21, 2024 payment. Pursuant to the Extension Agreement, Scilex paid to the Company $2,000 on September 23, 2024, which payment is to be applied as follows: (i) $1,700 to the payment due under the Tranche A Note on March 21, 2025 and (ii) $300 to purchase the Transferred Warrants.
The table below represents the fair value composition of the Tranche Note A:
| December 31, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short term | Long term | Total | Short term | Long term | Total | |
| Tranche Note A | $13,714 | - | $13,714 | $57,713 | $35,353 | $93,066 |
| Closing Penny Warrant | - | - | - | - | $9,180 | $9,180 |
| Subsequent Penny Warrants | $2,772 | - | $2,772 | - | $6,502 | $6,502 |
| Transferred Warrants | - | - | - | - | $1,440 | $1,440 |
| Total | $16,486 | - | $16,486 | $57,713 | $52,475 | $110,188 |
As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the Tranche A Note was less than the aggregate unpaid principal balance (which includes interest payable on maturity) by $7,801.

2024 Refinancing
In October 2024, the Company entered into the transactions (collectively, the “2024 Refinancing”) pursuant to which Scilex issued to the Company:
a. Convertible Notes SPA
The Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Convertible Notes SPA”) with certain institutional investors (together with the Company, the “Buyers”) and Scilex to refinance a portion of the Tranche A Note and pay off certain other indebtedness of Scilex. Pursuant to the Convertible Notes SPA, the Buyers purchased in a registered offering by Scilex (i) a new tranche B of senior secured convertible notes of Scilex in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000 (the “Tranche B Notes”) repayable on a quarterly basis for 2 years, which Tranche B Notes are convertible into shares of Scilex common stock and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 7,500,000 shares of Scilex common stock (the “Tranche B warrants”). The Company purchased 50% of Tranche B Notes and Tranche B Warrants and therefore holds an aggregate principal amount of $25,000 of the Tranche B Notes and 3,750,000 Tranche B Warrants.
Scilex received from the Company, in consideration for the Tranche B Notes and the Tranche B Warrants issued to the Company, an exchange and reduction of the principal outstanding balance under the Tranche A Note of $22,500.
b. Royalty Purchase Agreement
The Company and certain institutional investors (together with the Company, the “RPA Purchasers”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Royalty Purchase Agreement”) with Scilex and Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Scilex Pharma”). Pursuant to the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the RPA Purchasers acquired the right to receive, in the aggregate,8% of net sales worldwide for 10 years (the “Purchased Receivables”) with respect to ZTlido (lidocaine topical system)1.8%, SP-103 (lidocaine topical system)5.4%, and any related, improved, successor, replacement or varying dosage forms of the foregoing. The Company acquired the right to receive 50% of the Purchased Receivables and therefore holds the right to receive 4% royalties.
In consideration for its interest in the Purchased Receivables, the Company exchanged and reduced $2,500 of the principal balance under the Tranche A Note.
c. ZTlido Rest of the World Binding Agreement
The Company and certain other institutional investors and Scilex entered into a binding term sheet (the “ROW License Term Sheet”), regarding a license and development agreement (the: “Lido License Agreement”), with respect to services, compositions, products, dosages and formulations comprising lidocaine, including without limitation, the product and any future product defined as a “Product” under Scilex Pharma’s existing (i) Product Development Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2011, with Oishi Koseido Co., Ltd. (“Oishi”), and Itochu Chemical Frontier Corporation (“Itochu”), as amended, and (ii) the associated Commercial Supply Agreement, dated February 16, 2017, between Scilex, Oishi and Itochu, as amended.
Subject to determination of a final structure for the transactions contemplated by the ROW License Term Sheet, it is anticipated that the Company and such institutional investors will hold the Lido License Agreement through a joint venture, RoyaltyVest, Inc. (“RoyaltyVest”).
In consideration for the rights to be provided under the proposed Lido License Agreement, as more fully described in the ROW License Term Sheet, (a) RoyaltyVest will invest (whether through cash consideration or in-kind payment through the provision of services) $200 per year toward expanding the Product, (b) Scilex will grant RoyaltyVest a worldwide, exclusive right, license and interest to all products rights for the development, out-licensing, commercialization of any Product outside of the United States and other territories, other than certain excluded designated territories (the “ROW Territory”), and (c) each of RoyaltyVest and Scilex will receive 50% percent of the net revenue (less expenses) generated from any Product in the ROW Territory.
The term sheet is subject to entering into a definitive agreement (see note 15) and subject to the consent of Oishi and Itochu to the Lido License Agreement.
As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the ROW License was immaterial, inter alia, as it remains contingent upon third-party approvals and the future execution of agreements.
The institutional investors who are parties to the Convertible Notes SPA, Royalty Purchase Agreement and ROW License Term Sheet are all inter-related.
Following the refinancing as described above, on October 8, 2024, Scilex used $12,500 of the net proceeds from the proceeds of the Tranche B Note for the partial repayment of the outstanding balance under the Tranche A Note.
The Company elected the fair value option for the Tranche B Note and the Royalty Purchase Agreement, The Note B Warrants meet the definition of a derivative, and therefore will be measured at fair value.

In addition to its research and development activities, the Company holds financial investments, including a material investment in Scilex, see note 4. The CODM monitors these investments separately from operational performance.
