  a.

Tranche A Note – a senior secured promissory note (original principal amount of $101,875), guaranteed by Scilex’s domestic subsidiaries and secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of Scilex’s assets. As of June 30, 2026, the outstanding principal balance was $7,675, accrued interest was $18,755 and an exit fee of $3,056.

 

  b.

d. Royalty Purchase Agreement – the right to receive 4% of worldwide net sales of ZTLido, SP-103 and related products for a period of ten years.

 

All Scilex securities held by the Company are subject to a beneficial ownership limitation that restricts the Company’s holdings to a maximum of 9.99% of Scilex’s outstanding shares at any time.

 

Developments during the six months ended June 30, 2026

 

During the period, the maturity date of the Tranche A Note was extended to April 20, 2026 and subsequently to June 15, 2026. Under the amended terms, Scilex agreed, among other things, to pay $1,000 (the “First Penalty”) in addition to the amounts due under the Tranche A Note. For the movements in the balances during the period, see the fair value cycle table below.

 

On June 25, 2026, the Company and Scilex agreed to a further extension (the “Extension Agreement”) of the outstanding payment obligations, including the outstanding principal amount, any accrued interest thereon and any other fees (the “Note Obligations”), owed by Scilex to the Company pursuant to (i) the Tranche A Note with outstanding Note Obligations equal to an aggregate of $29,486 as of June 30, 2026, (ii) Tranche B Note, with outstanding Note Obligations equal to an aggregate of $6,753 (representing the amortization payments due April 1, 2026 and July 1, 2026), and (iii) the prior agreement to extend the maturity date of the Notes to June 15, 2026, in consideration of Scilex agreeing to pay to the Company $1,000 in cash (the “Extension Obligation” and, collectively with the Note Obligations, the “Obligations”).

 

Pursuant to the Extension Agreement, Scilex agreed to pay the Obligations to the Company in cash as follows: (i) $500, which the Company received on June 25, 2026; (ii) $5,000 on or before July 31, 2026; and (iii) the entire remaining balance of the Obligations on or before September 30, 2026. Amounts received are to be applied first to the Extension Obligation (until the first $1,000 has been so applied), thereafter to the Tranche B Note (covering the amortization payments due April 1, 2026 and July 1, 2026), and thereafter to the Tranche A Note.

 

As of August 10, 2026, the Company had not yet received the $5,000 payment due on July 31, 2026.

 

If Scilex fails to satisfy the Obligations in full by September 30, 2026 (such date, the “Due Date”), then, notwithstanding the foregoing order of application, the first $1,500 received by the Company shall not be credited against the Obligations and will be deemed, retroactively and for all purposes, an extension fee fully earned by and retained by the Company, and the Obligations will remain outstanding in full as if such amount had not been applied. In addition, if Scilex fails to satisfy the Obligations by the Due Date, Scilex has agreed to satisfy the remaining Obligations through the delivery of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Scilex (or of an affiliate of Scilex) which such shares will covered by an effective registration statement and will be issued free of restrictive legends and transfer restrictions, on such terms to be mutually agreed to by Oramed and Scilex.

 

The Company selected the fair value option for the Tranche A Note, changes in value are recorded under financial income (loss).

 

The discount rate of the Tranche A Note was based on the B- rating zero curve in addition to a risk premium which takes into account the credit risk of Scilex and ranged between 111.70 % to 112.16%.

 

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, 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 112.14%.

 

The following table summarizes the assumptions and estimates used to value the Tranche B Note as of June 30, 2026:
