Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Oramed Pharmaceuticals Inc. updated its corporate bylaws and restructured payment timing on large notes owed by Scilex Holding Company. The board approved Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws, which adjust how record dates and written stockholder consents are set and delivered.

Separately, Oramed agreed to extend repayment of Scilex’s Obligations under a Senior Secured Promissory Note and a Senior Secured Convertible Note, totaling about $29.5 million on the Tranche A Note and about $6.7 million on the Tranche B Note. Scilex will pay $0.5 million received on June 25, 2026, $5 million by July 31, 2026, and the remaining balance by September 30, 2026, with a mechanism that can recharacterize $1.5 million as an extension fee if full repayment is not made, and a provision to settle remaining amounts in registered common stock of Scilex or an affiliate.

Insights

Oramed refines governance rules and restructures Scilex note payments.

Oramed Pharmaceuticals tightened its bylaws around stockholder action by written consent, clarifying record date setting and requiring consents to be delivered within 60 days of the first delivered consent. These changes refine procedural control without altering ownership economics.

On the financing side, Oramed renegotiated timing on Scilex’s Obligations under a Senior Secured Promissory Note and Senior Secured Convertible Note, totaling about $29.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The schedule now includes staged cash payments through September 30, 2026, with a retroactive $1.5 million extension fee mechanism if Scilex does not fully repay by the Due Date.

If Scilex still has outstanding Obligations after the Due Date, it has agreed to satisfy them in shares of its common stock (or an affiliate’s), issued under an effective registration statement. Actual economic impact for Oramed will depend on Scilex’s ability to meet the cash schedule or the value of any shares issued.

Consent delivery window 60 days Stockholder written consents must be delivered within this period
Due Date for Obligations September 30, 2026 Deadline to satisfy remaining Obligations in cash
Senior Secured Promissory Note financial
"pursuant to (i) the Senior Secured Promissory Note dated September 21, 2023, as amended"
A senior secured promissory note is a written IOU in which a borrower promises to repay a loan and gives lenders first claim on specific assets if the borrower can't pay. Being "senior" means this debt gets paid before other unsecured obligations, and "secured" means assets back the loan, reducing potential losses for lenders. For investors, that priority and collateral typically make these notes safer and often carry lower interest than unsecured debt—think of being first in line with a pledge on the borrower's car.
Senior Secured Convertible Note financial
"the Senior Secured Convertible Note dated October 8, 2024, as amended"
A senior secured convertible note is a loan a company takes that is backed by specific assets and has first claim on repayment ahead of other creditors, but can also be exchanged for company shares under agreed conditions. For investors it signals higher priority if the company struggles (like a mortgage holder vs a general creditor) while also creating potential stock dilution if the loan is converted into equity, affecting value and recovery prospects.
record date financial
"revise the record date procedures for stockholder action by written consent"
The record date is the specific day when a company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive a dividend or participate in an upcoming vote. It’s like a cutoff date; if you own the stock on that day, you get the benefits or voting rights. This date matters because it decides who qualifies for certain company benefits.
Due Date financial
"If Scilex fails to satisfy the Obligations in full by September 30, 2026 (such date, the “Due Date”)"
effective registration statement regulatory
"shares will covered by an effective registration statement and will be issued free of restrictive legends"
An effective registration statement is a company filing that a securities regulator has approved as meeting disclosure rules, giving the company the legal green light to sell new shares or debt to the public. For investors it matters because the approval signals needed information has been made public and allows offerings that can change a company's cash position, share count and stock liquidity—think of it as a permit that lets a fundraising or public sale go forward.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On June 25, 2026, the Company and Scilex Holding Company (“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 Senior Secured Promissory Note dated September 21, 2023, as amended (the “Tranche A Note”) with outstanding Note Obligations equal to an aggregate of approximately $29.5 million as of June 30, 2026, (ii) the Senior Secured Convertible Note dated October 8, 2024, as amended (the “Tranche B Note” and, together with the Tranche A Note, the “Notes”), with outstanding Note Obligations equal to an aggregate of approximately $6.7 million (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 million 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) $0.5 million, which the Company received on June 25, 2026; (ii) $5 million 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 million 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.

 

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 $1.5 million 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.
