Item 2.04			Triggering Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

As previously disclosed, on May 22, 2020, Tricida, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (“US Bank”), relating to the Company’s $200 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”). On December 28, 2022, the Company received a notice from US Bank stating that an event of default occurred and is continuing under the Indenture as the Company has not made the latest interest payment and the grace period for such payment has passed. Furthermore, the notice stated that holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes have directed US Bank to accelerate payment on the Notes. Accordingly, pursuant to the notice from US Bank, 100% of the principal amount of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes has become immediately due and payable.
