Scilex Holding Company (Nasdaq: SCLX, “Scilex”), an innovative revenue-generating company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing non-opioid pain management products for the treatment of acute and chronic pain, today announced that the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Court”) has extended the expiration of the restrictions on transfer of the shares of common stock of Scilex that were previously distributed by Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC: SRNEQ, “Sorrento”), Scilex’s former controlling stockholder, to Sorrento’s stockholders as a dividend on January 19, 2023 (the “Dividend Stock”). Such lock-up period was previously set to expire on March 31, 2024. On March 26, 2024, the Court approved a motion to extend the lock-up period of the Dividend Stock to the earlier of (i) September 30, 2024 or (ii) the date on which Sorrento and its Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors agree in writing or on the record in Sorrento’s chapter 11 cases certain claims that may be asserted in potential litigation to avoid Sorrento’s distribution of Dividend Stock and to recover such Dividend Stock (the “Stock Clawback Claims”) should not be pursued, or on such date that the Court deems just and proper. The Court did not make any determination regarding the merits of the Stock Clawback Claims.
Accordingly, any shares of the Dividend Stock (including any such shares held by brokerage firms) may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of and the holders of Dividend Stock would be prohibited from causing or encouraging any third party to do the same. The foregoing extension shall apply only to the Dividend Stock and does not apply to any other outstanding securities of Scilex.
