SCLX Scilex Holding Company

Scilex Holding Company (Nasdaq: SCLX, “Scilex” or “Company”), 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 the continuing support from Endeavor Distribution LLC (“Endeavor”) on Scilex’s commercial products and the satisfaction of the FSF 33433 LLC $10 million loan under the Commitment Side Letter dated June 11, 2024 (the “Commitment Side Letter”).

As previously announced by Scilex, FSF provided Scilex a non-refundable deposit in the aggregate amount of $10 million (the “FSF Deposit”) pursuant to the Commitment Side Letter. On September 17, 2024, FSF, Endeavor and Scilex entered into an agreement, pursuant to which the remaining obligations in respect of the FSF Deposit shall be satisfied in full, and the Commitment Side Letter terminated, by Scilex’s delivery of certain amounts of ZTlido product.

Scilex and Endeavor entered into a multi-year distribution agreement in June 2024, and since then, Scilex has shipped $14 million of commercial products to Endeavor, with another pending order of $10 million to be shipped in the fourth quarter of 2024. With the ongoing support from Endeavor, Scilex’s products will be distributed to a wide range of healthcare services outlets across the United States, including many locations not previously accessible to Scilex. Scilex expects to initially target the utilization of ZTlido® to thousands of pharmacies and extended care outlets nationally, which would be prioritized based upon growing need for non-opioid products.

“I am very excited that this agreement with one of the premier healthcare and distribution services providers in the U.S. will expand access to ZTlido®, ELYXYB®, and GLOPERBA® for thousands of patients suffering from acute and chronic pain. This partnership strengthens the progress we’ve achieved with key customers and point of care facilities over the past few months,” says Scilex’s Chief Executive Officer, Jaisim Shah, “Scilex remains committed to our goal of ensuring broad access to ZTlido® and our other important non-opioid products.”
