Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, on December 1, 2025, Scilex Holding Company (the “Company”) entered into a Non-Recourse Loan and Securities Pledge Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with The St. James Bank & Trust Company Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Bahamas (the “Lender”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to loan the Company an aggregate principal amount of up to $50 million in one or more tranches (the “Loan”). Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company agreed to pledge approximately 39.2 million shares of common stock of Datavault AI Inc. (“Datavault”) currently held by Scilex (the “Pledged Securities”) in favor of the Lender as security for the Company’s satisfaction of its obligations thereunder.

On December 8, 2025 the Company and the Lender entered into an amendment to the Loan Agreement (the “Loan Amendment”) pursuant to which the total aggregate principal amount available under the Loan Agreement was increased to $100 million. Additionally, the amount of Pledged Securities was increased to 85.8 million shares of common stock of Datavault. All other terms of the Loan Agreement will continue in full force and effect unamended.

The foregoing summary of the Loan Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Loan Amendment, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
