NOTE 6 - LOAN TO AN EQUITY METHOD INVESTEE

 

On October 8, 2024, the Company and certain other investors (the “Additional Holders of Note B”) entered into a refinancing agreement with Scilex, pursuant to which the parties were granted rights to receive royalties from certain Scilex products. In connection with these rights, the Additional Holders of Note B incorporated RoyaltyVest Ltd. (“RoyaltyVest”) in the British Virgin Islands on January 2, 2025, and on February 12, 2025, transferred 50% of its issued and outstanding capital stock to the Company. As of March 31, 2026, the carrying value of the loan to an equity method investee was $423. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized $130 representing its share of RoyaltyVest’s net loss for the period.

 

There are no unrecognized losses, guarantees, or commitments related to RoyaltyVest, and no impairment losses were recorded during the reporting periods. In addition to its original investment, the Company uses RoyaltyVest as a potential investment vehicle for additional transactions conducted in collaboration with the other shareholders.

 

As such, on March 4, 2025, the Company entered into a loan agreement with RoyaltyVest pursuant to which the Company made a loan to RoyaltyVest in the amount of $7,000 to purchase shares of BioXcel Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTAI) (“BioXcel”). The loan is non-interest bearing and is non-recourse to the BioXcel shares, with repayment of principal and yield to be made from the proceeds of sales of BioXcel shares and warrants. The Company has elected the fair value option to measure the loan and accordingly presents it at fair value. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received $6,251 of principal repayments from BioXcel share sales. No principal repayments were received during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
