Cautionary Statement
This filing contains forward-looking statements with respect to Ocugen’s operations, business and prospects. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of such words as “may,” “should,” “will,” “could,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential, “continue,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “plans,” “expects,” “future,” “intends,” “projects,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements may include projections of, or guidance on, the anticipated benefits of the matters to be acted upon at the Special Meeting, Ocugen’s future growth strategies, commercial readiness, clinical progress, descriptions of business initiatives and anticipated trends in Ocugen’s business or financial results.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts, nor assurance of future performance. Instead, these statements are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding Ocugen’s business, strategies, projections, as well as anticipated events and trends. Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Ocugen’s control, and Ocugen’s actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not unduly rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement is based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date when made. Ocugen undertakes no obligation, other than as required by law, to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
A discussion of certain risks and uncertainties affecting Ocugen, and some of the factors that could cause Ocugen’s actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, can be found in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Ocugen’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and Ocugen’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026, as applicable.
