SCILEX INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
 Focus on the development and commercialization of late-stage products for the treatment of pain (100+ million
Americans have chronic pain)
 Particular focus on high barrier to entry products such as transdermals ($32 Billion U.S. Market in 2015)*
 Strong Management Team with experience marketing multiple pain products (Lidoderm®, OxyContin®)
 Ztlido™ (lidocaine patch 1.8%), is a branded, fourth-generation transdermal lidocaine patch formulated for the
treatment of the pain associated with post-herpetic neuralgia, or PHN, a chronic, painful condition that may
follow a shingles infection
 The FDA concurred that a single powered bioequivalence study of Ztlido™ vs. Lidoderm® would be sufficient for
submission of Ztlido™ under Section 505(b)(2)
 Ztlido™ has potential superior qualities to Lidoderm-a product (branded and generic) that generated $1.45 billion
in U.S. sales in 2013**; potential launch is 2H 2015

Ztlido™ IS A TRADEMARK OF SCILEX
THE TRANSDERMAL MARKET FOR PAIN
6
The transdermal drug delivery
market is set to grow from
$21 Billion in 2010 to $32 Billion by
2015. *
Pain is the largest segment in the
pipeline of transdermal drugs
under development.
TRANSDERMAL MARKET OUTLOOK
High barriers to entry make this
market attractive for branded
drugs with novel delivery
systems despite generics.

Introducing…. The Zero H2O Transdermal
Lidocaine Patch
Potential Benefits:
• Superior Adhesiveness
• Better pliability & flexibility
• ZTL 1.8% (36 mg lidocaine) delivers
equivalent analgesic intensity as
Lidoderm 5% (700 mg lidocaine)
Ztlido™ is primed to capitalize on the Billion Dollar
market created by Lidoderm®
8
ZTLIDO’s POTENTIAL ATTRIBUTES MAKE IT BEST IN CLASS FOR THE
TREATMENT OF PAIN ASSOCIATED WITH PHN
36 mg lidocaine vs. 700 mg lidocaine for Lidoderm®
Less active ingredient perceived to be safer by physician
FDA concerned with disposal of used Lidoderm patches
Approximately half the manufacturing cost due to no water content
Potential to load Ztlido™ with higher lidocaine doses for maximum performance
Superior adhesiveness
Better compliance (concerns about Lidoderm® patches falling off)
Potential for indication expansion e.g. low-back pain
Superior adhesion and pliability has potential to expand market
Top prescriber survey suggests potential uses in active joints such as wrists, knees, ankles and neck
Generics (Hydrogels -Lidoderm®) cannot compete

Ztlido™ has the potential to gain regulatory approval for applications for the
treatment of pain associated with PHN. Multiple strengths would enable clinicians
to adjust the dosage, hence, the patient’s therapy may be individualized.
