Share Purchase Term Sheet

On August 4, 2023, Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a non-binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Seller”), which contemplates that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Term Sheet, the Company would acquire certain securities of Scilex Holding Company (“Scilex”) owned by the Seller, including (A) 59,726,737 shares of common stock of Scilex; provided, that the Seller will provide the Company an option to purchase up to 2,259,058 additional shares of common stock of Scilex, which the Seller is currently holding in abeyance on behalf of certain warrantholders of the Seller (the “Option Shares”), at an exercise price of $1.13 per Option Share, at such time(s) as such Option Shares become transferable; (B) 29,057,096 shares of Series A preferred stock of Scilex, which shares constitute one fewer than all of the issued and outstanding Series A preferred stock of the Scilex; and (C) warrants exercisable for 1,386,617 shares of common stock of Scilex in respect of public warrants, and warrants exercisable for 3,104,000 shares of common stock of Scilex in respect of private placement warrants (collectively, the “Purchased Securities”) (such acquisition of the Purchased Securities, the “Transaction”) for a total purchase price of $105,000,000 (excluding any additional amounts paid by the Company in the future in respect of Option Shares). The consideration for the Transaction shall consist of a credit bid by the Company on a dollar-for-dollar basis of the full amount of outstanding obligations as of the closing date under the Replacement DIP Facility (as defined below, and which is between the Company and the Seller and its affiliated debtor), with the remaining balance of the purchase price to be paid in cash by the Company to the Seller.

The Term Sheet further provides that the Company and the Seller will use reasonable best efforts to negotiate in good faith and execute the Definitive Documentation (as defined below) by August 8, 2023 containing terms consistent with the terms of the Term Sheet and other customary terms and conditions for transactions of this nature. The Definitive Documentation shall provide for, among other things, as conditions to closing, the amendment of Scilex’s governance documents, the grant of an irrevocable proxy and call option (with an exercise price of $1) with respect to the remaining shares of Scilex Series A preferred stock retained by the Seller (or Seller shall have deposited such remaining preferred share in a voting trust and named the Company as the trustee of such trust), and the grant of all of the Seller’s rights (pursuant to a certain stockholder agreement) with respect to the Series A preferred stock of Scilex to the Company. The Term Sheet is non-binding and consummation of the Transaction is subject to a number of contingencies including, among other things, the negotiation, execution and consummation of final definitive documentation (the “Definitive Documentation”).

The Seller and its wholly-owned direct subsidiary, Scintilla Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (together with the Seller, the “Debtors”) are Debtors in Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings pending before the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) which commenced on February 13, 2023. Subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Term Sheet provides for the Company to be designated as the “stalking horse” bidder, providing the Company with rights to a break-up fee in the amount of $3,412,500 and expense reimbursement of certain costs and expenses up to $1,000,000 for outside counsel if certain conditions are met (to the extent such costs and expenses are not paid under the Replacement DIP Facility). The Transaction will be conducted through a Bankruptcy Court-supervised process pursuant to Bankruptcy Court-approved bidding procedures and is subject to the receipt of higher or otherwise better offers from competing bidders at an auction (at which the Company may increase the total purchase price for the Transaction), approval of the sale by the Bankruptcy Court, and the satisfaction of certain closing conditions. Accordingly, the Company can give no assurances of the outcome of the Transaction and whether the Company will be successful in acquiring the Purchased Securities pursuant to the Term Sheet.

DIP Financing

The Term Sheet also contemplates that the Company will provide a non-amortizing super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan financing facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million (the “Replacement DIP Facility”), which shall be subject to definitive documentation. The Replacement DIP Facility proceeds will be used (i) to refinance and pay in full the approximately $82 million of obligations outstanding under the Seller’s Senior Secured, Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession Loan and Security Agreement (the “Existing DIP Facility”), approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to its Final Order (I) Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Obtain Senior Secured Superpriority Postpetition Financing and (B) Use Cash Collateral, (II) Granting Liens and Providing Claims with Superpriority Administrative Expense Status, (III) Modifying the Automatic Stay, and (IV) Granting Related Relief, dated March 30, 2023, and (ii) for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Debtors (subject to the budgets contemplated in connection with the Replacement DIP Facility), and the payment of certain fees, expenses, and other amounts payable under the Replacement DIP Facility. The Replacement DIP Facility is expected to be provided on substantially the same terms and conditions as those of the Existing DIP Facility, subject to, among other things, (a) mutually agreed-upon permitted asset sales from the DIP Collateral (as defined in the Existing DIP Facility), the proceeds of such asset sales to be included in the Replacement DIP Facility collateral package; (b) agreed-upon “stalking horse” bidder protections mentioned above; (c) agreed-upon milestones and other deadlines for, among other things, the auction, the sale hearing and the outside date for consummation of the Transaction; (d) agreed-upon documentation for the Replacement DIP Facility; (e) an acceptable DIP budget; and (f) entry of an order (in form and substance acceptable to the Company) of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Replacement DIP Facility and “stalking horse” bidder protections, which order shall provide, among other things, the Company with the unqualified right to credit bid the obligations under the Replacement DIP Facility. On August 4, 2023, the Seller filed a motion (the “DIP Motion”) with the Bankruptcy Court, seeking, among other things, approval of the Replacement DIP Facility, entry into the Definitive Documentation, and the “stalking horse” bidder protections. The Bankruptcy Court is expected to consider the DIP Motion at a hearing scheduled on August 7, 2023.

H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC is acting as exclusive financial advisor to Oramed in connection with the Transaction.

Exit Financing

In addition, the Term Sheet contemplates that the Company shall engage an advisor to structure and arrange financing for the Seller’s post-emergence business in the form of senior secured convertible debt and/or additional securities in the principal amount of approximately $115 million (the “Exit Financing”). The Term Sheet further provides that the Seller, Scilex and the Company will consent to the roll over by Seller of Scilex’s junior secured super-priority post-petition financing to the Seller in connection with the Exit Financing (subject to any fiduciary duty or other limitations under applicable law).

The foregoing summary of the Term Sheet is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Sheet, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Consummation of the Sale is subject to (i) final definitive documentation to be negotiated in good faith between the parties, (ii) the satisfaction or waiver of the Closing Conditions set forth below, and (iii) authorization and approval by the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). This Stalking Horse Term Sheet is solely for discussion purposes and does not purport to summarize all of the terms, conditions, covenants, representations, warranties and other provisions which would be contained in the definitive documentation for the transactions described herein.

Seller

Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (“Seller”)

Purchaser

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Purchaser”)

Company

Scilex Holding Company (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”)

Transaction Form

The Sale will be structured through a section 363 sale in Seller’s chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings (the “Chapter 11 Case”) commenced by the Seller under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the Bankruptcy Court.

DIP Financing; Purchase Price

Subject to the entry of the Stalking Horse Protections Order, Purchaser will provide debtor-in-possession financing to facilitate the Sale and to refinance the Senior Secured Superpriority Postpetition Financing of $82 million original principal amount (the “Existing DIP Facility”), on terms substantially similar to the Existing DIP Facility approved pursuant to the order at ECF No. 324, in the principal amount of up to $100 million (the “Replacement DIP Facility”).

The consideration for the Purchased Securities shall be $105 million (the “Purchase Price”), which shall consist of (i) a credit bid on a dollar-for-dollar basis in respect of the full amount of outstanding obligations as of the Closing Date (to be defined in the Stalking Horse SPA) under the Replacement DIP Facility, and (ii) the remaining balance to be paid in cash to the Seller.

Purchased Securities

The “Purchased Securities” shall consist of: (i) 59,726,737 shares of common stock of the Company; (ii) 29,057,096 shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company, which shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company constitute one fewer than all of the issued and outstanding preferred stock of the Company; and (iii) warrants exercisable for 1,386,617 shares of common stock of the Company in respect of Public Warrants, and warrants exercisable for 3,104,000 shares of common stock of the Company in respect of Private Placement Warrants (each as defined in the latest publicly filed Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company)).

The 59,726,737 shares of common stock of the Company referred to above and the Option Shares (as defined below) constitute all the shares of common stock of the Company owned by Seller.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Stalking Horse Term Sheet, the amount of Purchased Securities, Option Shares and dollar amounts per share shall be appropriately adjusted in the event of any stock split, dividend, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction occurring prior to the Closing Date.

In the Stalking Horse SPA (as defined below) Seller will grant to the Purchaser a call option to purchase all or part of the 2,259,058 shares of common stock of the Company which Seller is currently holding in abeyance on behalf of certain warrantholders of Seller (the “Option Shares”). Such option will be exercisable for a period of 30 days after Seller notifies Purchaser that Seller no longer holds all or part of such Option Shares in abeyance and can freely transfer such Option Shares to Purchaser. The exercise price per Option Share payable by Purchaser in connection with the exercise of such option shall be $1.13 per Option Share.

	(vii)	automatically if the Seller (i) withdraws, or seeks to withdraw, the Sale Motion, or (ii) announces or files a chapter 11 plan or other transaction, or seeks to file a chapter 11 plan or other transaction, contemplating reorganization or sale of the Purchased Securities that does not comply with the terms and conditions of the Stalking Horse SPA;

Upon entry of the Stalking Horse Protections Order, the Stalking Horse Protections shall be binding upon and enforceable against Seller.

	Seller also shall provide, pursuant to the Bid Procedures Order, that the minimum overbid at the auction shall be no less than $1,000,000.00.

Costs	Except with respect to the break-up fee, the expense reimbursement, and as otherwise provided in the Replacement DIP Facility, each as described above, Seller and Purchaser shall each bear their respective costs and expenses in connection with this Stalking Horse Term Sheet, the Replacement DIP Facility, the Definitive Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Governing Law	The Definitive Documents will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State. All actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to the Definitive Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby will be heard and determined exclusively in the Bankruptcy Court, and Seller and Purchaser irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court in any such action or proceeding and irrevocably waive the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any such action or proceeding; provided, however, that, if the Chapter 11 Case is closed, any action, claim, suit or proceeding arising out of, based upon, or relating to the Definitive Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby will be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court location in the Southern District of New York. Each Party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

This Stalking Horse Term Sheet supersedes all other writings and oral statements in respect of the subject matter hereof.

This Stalking Horse Term Sheet does not constitute, and is not intended to constitute, an offer or a legally binding obligation of or promise by either Seller or Purchaser to enter into a transaction or negotiate the terms of any transaction, and no legally binding obligations will be created, implied or inferred by this document with the exception of this paragraph and the section above titled “Costs”.
