Scilex Holding Company Announces that Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.’s Bankruptcy Court Issues Temporary Restraining Order Against Brokerage Firms and Suspends Short-Sales of Dividended Scilex Stock
PALO ALTO, Calif., June 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Scilex Holding Company (Nasdaq: SCLX, “Scilex”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC: SRNEQ), an innovative revenue-generating company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-opioid pain management products for the treatment of acute and chronic pain, announced that, in connection with Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc.’s ongoing chapter 11 case, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”) has entered a temporary restraining order suspending short-sales of common stock of Scilex Holding Company (Nasdaq: SCLX, “Scilex”) that Sorrento distributed to its stockholders on or around January 19, 2023 (the “Dividended Scilex Stock”).??
In addition, the Bankruptcy Court ordered certain brokerage firms to provide an accounting of all profits received from naked short-selling of Dividended Scilex Stock and Scilex common stock, including all interest charged to short-sellers, no later than five business days after entry of the order.
The Bankruptcy Court’s temporary restraining order grants a request by the Official Committee of Equity Security Holders in Sorrento’s chapter 11 case, who had asked for the relief. The Official Committee of Equity Security Holders was appointed in the case to act as a fiduciary for, and represent the interests of, all Sorrento stockholders.
The Bankruptcy Court will conduct a hearing to consider the committee’s related request for a preliminary injunction on such issues on June 27, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. (prevailing Central Time) in Courtroom 400, 515 Rusk Street, Houston, Texas.
