AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is made as of the 30 day of August, 2024, by and between Seelos Therapeutics, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Lind Global Asset Management V, LLC (the “Investor”).

WHEREAS, on November 23, 2021, the Company and the Investor entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, as amended (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to the Investor, a convertible promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $22 million, as amended (the “Note”), convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”); and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Company and the Investor seek to enter into this Agreement to permit the conversion of the outstanding balance of the Note into shares of Common stock upon the Company’s consummation by the Company of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined below);

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements, representations and warranties, provisions and covenants contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1.       Conversion of Note. The Company and the Investor hereby agree that, upon the consummation of a Fundamental Transaction having terms and conditions agreeable to the Investor, that the Investor shall convert an amount of the outstanding balance of the Note, including all interest, fees and payments owed thereunder, as shall be sufficient to allow the Company to comply with the Stockholder’s Equity continued listing standard set forth in rule 5550(a) of the Nasdaq Capital Market Listing Requirements, unless the Investor in its sole discretion determines to exceed such amount, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a price per share to be agreed upon by the parties (the “Shares”) in accordance with the terms of Note. Such conversion shall be subject to the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, and to all applicable laws and regulations, including any shareholder voting requirements as may be required by the Nasdaq Stock Market rules, and, for the avoidance of doubt, no such conversion shall result in the Investor exceeding the ownership cap set forth in Section 3.3 of the Note.

For purposes of this Agreement a “Fundamental Transaction” shall mean a transaction pursuant to which (a) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (b) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (c) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (d) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property.

2.       Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Investor that:

a.               Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Nevada. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.

b.               Authorization. The Company has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

c.               Validity; Enforcement; No Conflicts. This Agreement and each Transaction Document to which the Company is a party have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered on behalf of the Company and shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation and other similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and each Transaction Document to which the Company is a party and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of the Company or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities or “blue sky” laws) applicable to the Company, except in the case of clause (ii) above, for such conflicts, defaults or rights which would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Investor to perform its obligations hereunder.

3.       Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor hereby represents, warrants and covenants that:

a.               Authorization. The Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and has taken all action necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

c.               Information. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and issuance of the Shares which have been requested by the Investor. The Investor has had the opportunity to review the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Investor and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by the Investor or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or affect the Investor’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained herein. The Investor understands that its investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. The Investor has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Shares.

d.               No Governmental Review. The Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Shares nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Shares.
