Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 24, 2026, Scilex Holding Company (the “Company”) entered into a binding term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) with Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault”), which sets forth certain terms and conditions of the Company’s proposed purchase (the “Proposed Transaction”) of Bitcoin (“BTC”) from Datavault that is currently held by Datavault in a Biconomy digital wallet (the “Wallet”).
Pursuant to the Term Sheet, and subject to the finalization of a definitive agreement (the “Definitive Agreement”) to be negotiated in good faith by the Company and Datavault and, ultimately, the satisfaction of certain customary closing conditions to be contained therein, it is expected that the Company will purchase from Datavault a total of 837 BTC held in the Wallet for $50 million (the “Purchase Price”). The Company has agreed to make an initial payment of $30 million, with the remaining $20 million payable in quarterly installments commencing in the fourth quarter of 2026 and ending on December 31, 2028. The Company will pay the Purchase Price in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Company Common Stock”) or publicly traded securities of the Company’s subsidiaries, or a combination thereof, at the discretion of the Company.
The Term Sheet provides that the Definitive Agreement will contain customary representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, limitations on indemnity, termination provisions and other terms typical for transactions of this nature.
There can be no assurance that the Definitive Agreement and any other transaction documents necessary to consummate the Proposed Transaction will be entered into, or that the Proposed Transaction will be consummated on the terms described herein or at all. The consummation of the Proposed Transaction is subject to numerous factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company, including market conditions, regulatory approvals, the actions of third parties, and the ability of the parties to negotiate and execute the Definitive Agreement. The Term Sheet reflects terms that remain subject to further negotiation, modification and/or approval by the applicable boards of directors and may be terminated by the parties. Any such termination, or a failure by the parties to agree on the Definitive Agreement, could result in disputes or litigation relating to the interpretation, enforceability and/or performance of the provisions of the Term Sheet, which could be costly and/or time-consuming, divert management attention and/or otherwise adversely affect the financial condition or liquidity of the Company, including its ability to pursue or defend such claims. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on the consummation of the Proposed Transaction or the ability of the Company and Datavault to consummate the Proposed Transaction.
The foregoing description of the Term Sheet does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Term Sheet, a copy of which the Company will file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending June 30, 2026 or by an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
The information provided in Item 1.01 regarding the Term Sheet and the potential issuance of shares of Company Common Stock is hereby incorporated by reference.
It has not yet been determined whether the shares of Company Common Stock that may be issued in the Proposed Transaction will be issued in a private placement. If such shares are issued in a private placement, the Company expects that (i) such shares would be issued to Datavault in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) thereof and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder and (ii) Datavault will represent that it is an “accredited investor,” as defined in Regulation D, and will acquire such shares for investment only and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof. Neither this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the Term Sheet is an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy shares of Company Common Stock or any other securities of the Company.
