Purpose of Transaction.

Business Combination

On November 9, 2022, as contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 17, 2022 (the Initial Merger Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 12, 2022 Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement and together with the Initial Merger Agreement, the Merger Agreement), by and among Vickers Vantage Corp. I (Vickers), Vantage Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Vickers (Merger Sub), and Scilex Holding Company, a Delaware corporation and a majority-owned subsidiary of the Reporting Person (Legacy Scilex), Vickers filed a notice of deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and filed a certificate of corporate domestication and a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, pursuant to which Vickers was domesticated and continued as a Delaware corporation, under the name of Vickers Vantage Corp. I (the Domestication).

As a result of, and upon the effective time of the Domestication, among other things, (i) each issued and outstanding ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of Vickers (the Vickers Ordinary Shares) was converted automatically, on a one for-one basis, into one share of Common Stock; (ii) each issued and outstanding warrant to purchase Vickers Ordinary Shares was converted automatically into a warrant to acquire one share of Common Stock; and (iii) each issued and outstanding unit of Vickers was converted automatically into a new unit with each unit representing one share of Common Stock and one-half of one warrant to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and conditions set forth in Vickers form of warrant agreement (though such units were automatically separated into their component parts at the effective time of the Merger (as defined below)).

 

- 3 -

On November 10, 2022, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Scilex, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub ceased and Legacy Scilex continued as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of New Scilex (the Merger and, together with the Domestication, the Business Combination). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, Vickers changed its name to Scilex Holding Company and Scilex was renamed as Scilex, Inc. In this Schedule 13D, the terms New Scilex or Issuer refer to Vickers after completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Legacy Scilex (the Legacy Scilex Common Stock) outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by Scilex or its subsidiaries or shares the holders of which exercise dissenters rights of appraisal) was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio (as defined below); (ii) each share of Legacy Scilex Preferred Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled in exchange for the right to receive (a) one share of Series A Preferred Stock and (b) one-tenth of one share of Common Stock; and (iii) each option to purchase Legacy Scilex Common Stock that was then outstanding was converted into the right to receive an option relating to the Common Stock upon substantially the same terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such option immediately prior to the Effective Time (New Scilex Option) except that (y) each New Scilex Option relates to that whole number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the number of shares of Legacy Scilex Common Stock subject to such option, multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (z) the exercise price per share for each such share of Common Stock is equal to the exercise price per share of such option in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by the Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent).

The Exchange Ratio means an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the number of shares constituting the Merger Consideration (as defined below), divided by (ii) the sum of the number of (y) shares of Legacy Scilex Common Stock issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any such shares held in treasury), plus (z) shares of Legacy Scilex Common Stock issuable upon, or subject to, the settlement of options to purchase Legacy Scilex Common Stock outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Merger Consideration was calculated as the quotient of (i) $1.5 billion less Specified Indebtedness (as defined below) divided by (ii) $10.00. The term Specified Indebtedness means the aggregate amount owed by Legacy Scilex to Sorrento in respect of (i) those certain senior secured notes due 2026 issued under that certain Indenture, dated as of September 7, 2018, by and among Scilex Pharmaceuticals Inc., as the issuer, Sorrento, as the parent guarantor, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, as amended from time to time; and (ii) all obligations of Legacy Scilex for borrowed money, or with respect to deposits or advances of any kind (including amounts by reason of overdrafts and amounts owed by reason of letter of credit reimbursement agreements) including with respect thereto, all interests, fees and costs and prepayment and other penalties and all obligations of Legacy Scilex evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or similar instruments of Legacy Scilex and any of its subsidiaries other than such Specified Indebtedness owed to Sorrento. The Exchange Ratio, as determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, was 0.673498, the aggregate Merger Consideration was $1,500,000,000 and amount of Specified Indebtedness was zero.

Debt Exchange Agreement

On September 12, 2022, in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Legacy Scilex and Scilex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Scilex Pharma) entered into a Contribution and Satisfaction of Indebtedness Agreement (the Debt Exchange Agreement) with the Reporting Person. The Debt Exchange Agreement provided that (i) Sorrento contribute to Legacy Scilex all amounts (including accrued interest thereon, if any) for certain loans and other amounts provided by Sorrento to Legacy Scilex and Scilex Pharma that remain outstanding as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination (the Aggregate Outstanding Amount or Outstanding Indebtedness), in exchange for the issuance by Legacy Scilex to Sorrento of Legacy Scilex Preferred Stock, (ii) Legacy Scilex contribute to Scilex Pharma the portion of such Outstanding Indebtedness that is owed by Scilex Pharma to Sorrento as a contribution of capital for no consideration, and (iii) upon the occurrence of the events described in clauses (i) and (ii), the Aggregate Outstanding Amount and the Outstanding Indebtedness shall be satisfied in full.

Pursuant to the terms of the Debt Exchange Agreement, effective as of immediately prior to, and contingent upon, the closing of the Business Combination, Sorrento elected to contribute the Outstanding Indebtedness to Legacy Scilex in exchange for the issuance by Legacy Scilex to Sorrento of that number of shares of Legacy Scilex Preferred Stock (subject to adjustment for recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions) (the Exchange Shares and such transaction, the Debt Contribution) that was equal to (i) the Aggregate Outstanding Amount plus the amount that is equal to 10% of the Aggregate Outstanding Amount divided by (ii) $11.00 (rounded up to the nearest whole share); provided, that in no event shall the Aggregate Outstanding Amount exceed $310,000,000.

The Aggregate Outstanding Amount as of immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination was $290,570,964. Accordingly, the aggregate number of shares of Legacy Scilex Preferred Stock issued to Sorrento prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the Debt Exchange Agreement was 29,057,097 shares. At the Effective Time such shares were exchanged for 29,057,097 shares of Series A Preferred Stock and 2,905,710 shares of Common Stock.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Reporting Person received an aggregate of 135,726,590 shares of Common Stock and 29,057,097 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, which includes the conversion of Legacy Scilex Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Debt Exchange Agreement.
