Item 2.02. Results of Operations and
Financial Conditions.
On May 13, 2019, Scilex Pharmaceuticals
Inc. (“Scilex”), a subsidiary of Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”), announced that net sales
of ZTlido® (lidocaine topical system 1.8%) for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 were approximately $2.8 million and net sales
of ZTlido® for the month of April 2019 were approximately $1.8 million. The Company also announced that according to latest
market share data from iQivia, ZTlido® now has approximately a 4% share of the total lidocaine new prescription market in the
U.S., having already surpassed Lidoderm’s market share. The preliminary information presented in this Current Report on Form
8-K is based on the Company’s current expectations and may be adjusted as a result of, among other things, completion of
customary quarterly review procedures.
Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
The information set forth in Item 2.02
of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
On May 13, 2019, Scilex also
announced that as part of its pharmacy stocking initiative, Scilex recently reached an agreement with a major pharmacy chain
to stock 1,500 stores that were previously not selling ZTlido®, in addition to the 900 stores that are already selling
and stocking ZTlido®. The stocking of these 1,500 stores will start immediately. Scilex has been in active discussions
with other major pharmacy chains and expects to reach similar stocking agreements with all major pharmacy chains in the near
term. The objective for the pharmacy stocking initiative is to ensure that these pharmacies have ZTlido® in stock and
patients have access to ZTlido® in a timely fashion. In addition to the stocking initiative, Scilex is executing on other
plans with the aim to continue to gain market share of the lidocaine patch market.
The information contained in this Item 7.01 and Item 2.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed”
for the 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 it be deemed incorporated by reference into any registration statement or
other filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific
reference to such filing.
