On December 5, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Scilex Holding Company (the “Company”) approved the appointment of BPM LLP (“BPM”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately, for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 and the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim period preceding BPM’s engagement, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf consulted BPM regarding (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and BPM did not provide either a written report or oral advice to the Company that was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) on accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedures or a “reportable event” (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).
