a.2023 Scilex Transaction and 2024 Refinancing

 

2023 Scilex Transaction

 

On September 21, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with Scilex (the “2023 Scilex Transaction”), 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, initially maturing on March 21, 2025 and bearing interest of SOFR plus 8.5%, payable in-kind. The Tranche A Note is guaranteed by Scilex’s domestic subsidiaries and is secured by a first priority security interest and liens on substantially all of Scilex’s assets, subject to customary permitted liens. On March 29, 2026, the Company extended the maturity date to April 20, 2026, and on April 20, 2026, it was further extended to June 15, 2026. See Note 18 for further details. As of March 31, 2026, Scilex had repaid $69,200 of the principal due under the Tranche A Note and refinanced $25,000 as part of the 2024 Refinancing (as defined below). As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding principal balance of the Tranche A Note was $7,675 and accrued interest totaled $17,937. See Note 18 for further details.

 

  b. Warrants to purchase Scilex common stock, all of which were either exercised, repurchased by Scilex under an option agreement dated July 22, 2025, or sold prior to December 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2026, the Company did not hold any warrants issued in connection with the 2023 Scilex Transaction.

 

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 purchased 50% interest in a new tranche B of senior secured convertible notes issued by Scilex (the “Tranche B Note”), with the Company’s share equal to an aggregate principal amount of $25,000, repayable quarterly over two years and maturing on October 8, 2026. The Company also received 107,143 warrants to purchase Scilex common stock at an exercise price of $36.4 per share (the “Tranche B Warrants”). In consideration, the principal balance of the Tranche A Note was reduced by $22,500.

 

As of March 31, 2026, Scilex has repaid $13,000 of the principal amount outstanding under the Tranche B Note, leaving a remaining principal balance of $12,000 with accrued interest of $390.

 

b.Royalty Purchase Agreement

 

The Company acquired the right to receive 4% of worldwide net sales of ZTLido, SP-103, and related products for ten years, in exchange for a $2,500 reduction in the principal balance of the Tranche A Note.

 

c.ZTlido Rest of the World Binding Agreement

 

The Company, together with other institutional investors, entered into a binding term sheet for an ex-U.S. license and development arrangement covering certain lidocaine-based products. This license is held through RoyaltyVest (see Note 6).

d.Tranche B Note Consent

 

On January 2, 2025, the Company and the other Tranche B Note holders agreed to defer Scilex’s first amortization payment under the Tranche B Note to October 8, 2026. In consideration, the Company received $877 in cash ($500 principal and $377 accrued interest), 71,429 shares of Scilex common stock, a 2% ten-year royalty on global net sales of Gloperba and Elyxyb (excluding Elyxyb in Canada), and an option (exercised in 2025 through RoyaltyVest) to acquire ex-U.S. rights to Gloperba for $500. See Note 6.

 

e.Extension consent

 

In October 2025, in consideration for deferring an October 1, 2025 amortization payment under the Tranche B Note (which was subsequently paid in November 2025), Scilex agreed to issue the Company warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Scilex common stock at an exercise price of $20 per share. The warrants were issued on February 19, 2026.

 

The Company elected the fair value option for the Tranche B Note and the Royalty Purchase Agreement, the Tranche B Warrants meet the definition of a derivative and therefore will be measured at fair value. Changes in value are recorded under financial income (loss), net and include interest income on the Tranche B Note.

 

The valuation of the Tranche B Note was performed based on the binomial model, using a discount rate of 107.47%.

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions and estimates used to value the Tranche B Note as of March 31, 2026:

Floor Rate   36.40 
Expected Term   0.52

b.Profit Sharing Loan Agreement

 

On September 4, 2024, the Company entered into a loan agreement (the “Profit Sharing Loan Agreement”) with Rabi Binyamin 4 Tama 38 Ltd. (the “Borrower”) to finance a real estate project (the “Project”). According to the terms of the Profit Sharing Loan Agreement, Oramed agreed to loan NIS 5.5 million ($1,523) (the “Loan Principal”) to the Borrower. NIS 4.7 million ($1,307) was loaned upon signing the Profit Sharing Loan Agreement and an additional NIS 0.8 million ($237) will be loaned upon achievement of certain milestones. On October 28, 2025, the Borrower met the milestones and became entitled to the additional payment.

 

Upon completion of the Project, the Company is entitled to receive the Loan Principal and the greater of: (i) 20% annual interest of the Loan Principal and (ii) 40% of the Project profits.

 

On September 14, 2025, the Company loaned an additional NIS 0.5 million ($150) to the Borrower (“Additional Loan”). The Additional Loan bears interest at an annual rate of 6% and originally matured on December 31, 2025. The maturity date was subsequently extended to June 30, 2026. According to the Additional Loan agreement, the Company shall be entitled to instruct the Borrower that instead of repaying the Additional Loan on the maturity date, the principal amount of the loan, as well as any accrued interest up to the date of such notice, shall be deemed to constitute a loan amount provided by the Company, as part of the remaining portion of the Profit-Sharing Loan Agreement.

 

The Company decided to designate the Profit Sharing Loan Agreement as a whole under the Fair-Value option in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 825 “Financial Instruments”. The valuation of the Profit Sharing Loan Agreement was based on various project profit scenarios. The Company used the Wang Transform model, a risk-neutral probabilities method, with an expected term of 2.76 years, a curve rate of 16.22% and a risk spread of 0.43%.

 

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the Profit Sharing Loan Agreement and the Additional Loan was $1,933 and $1,890, respectively.

c.Ruby Sapphire II

 

On December 29, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement and committed to invest NIS 7,000 ($2,185) as a limited partner in Ruby Capital Investment Fund Sapphire II, Limited Partnership (“Ruby Sapphire II”), an Israeli private investment fund. The Company’s commitment may be drawn down over time in accordance with the fund’s partnership agreement, and the investment is subject to the risks inherent in private investment funds, including illiquidity and the potential loss of invested capital. On February 5, 2026, the Company had funded NIS 1,556 ($499) under this commitment.

 

The Company has elected the fair value option, in accordance with ASC Topic 825, Financial Instruments, to measure its investment in Ruby Sapphire II.

As of March 31, 2026, the fair value of the investment in Ruby Sapphire II was $492.
