Item 7.01.	Regulation FD Disclosure.
As previously disclosed, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Scilex Holding Company (the "Company") approved a resolution to authorize management to explore ways in which to maximize the value of Semnur Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Semnur"), the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, and SP-102 (SEMDEXA

On June 28, 2024, the Board approved a resolution to authorize a potential dividend of up to 10% of the Company's ownership interest in Semnur in connection with any such Potential Transaction, subject to the registration of Semnur's common stock (or such securities, property or other assets into which or for which such stock may be exchanged or converted in such Potential Transaction) with the Securities and Exchange Commission. No record date has been established for such dividend as the Company continues to explore Potential Transactions and to the extent such dividend is declared in connection with a Potential Transaction or otherwise, the Company will make such disclosures as may be required under applicable law and the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.
The information under this Item 7.01 of this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
