Check the appropriate box below if the Form 8-K filing is intended to simultaneously satisfy the filing obligation of the registrant under any of the following provisions:

Indicate by check mark whether the registrant is an emerging growth company as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933 (§230.405 of this chapter) or Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (§240.12b-2 of this chapter).

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 25, 2023, Tammy Reilly notified Sorrento Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) that she was resigning from the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), effective immediately. Ms. Reilly informed the Company that her resignation was due to concerns regarding the Company’s Chief Restructuring Officer’s continued lack of communication with the Board on decisions made and the general operating of the Company and changes in the Company’s directors’ and officers’ insurance policy without Board input. A copy of Ms. Reilly’s letter of resignation is attached hereto as Exhibit 17.1.

The Company has provided Ms. Reilly with a copy of the disclosures in this Form 8-K and the opportunity to furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Company stating whether she agrees with the statements made by the Company in response to this Item 5.02 and if not, stating the respects in which she does not agree. Upon the receipt of any such letter from Ms. Reilly, the Company will file any such letter as an exhibit to an amendment to this Form 8-K, no later than two business days after it is received.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

It is with dismay that I inform you of my decision to resign from the Board of Directors for Sorrento Therapeutics effective immediately.

I have become increasingly concerned at the CRO’s continued lack of communication with the BOD on decisions made and general operating of the company thus, resulting in unilateral decision making by the CRO. Further to this, the decision by the CRO without BOD input to ineffectively and irresponsibility act regarding changes in the D&O policy reinforced my decision.
