Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 23, 2021, Ocugen, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain purchasers named therein (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell, in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”), 10,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at an offering price of $10.00 per share.
The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and agreements of the Company and the Purchasers and customary indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The closing of the Offering is expected to occur on April 27, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company is expected to receive gross proceeds of approximately $100 million in connection with the Offering, before deducting placement agent fees and related offering expenses.
As compensation to H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Placement Agent”) as placement agent in connection with the Offering, the Company agreed to pay to the Placement Agent a cash fee of 6.5% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised in the Offering, plus reimbursement of certain expenses.
The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the form of such document attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Report”), which is incorporated herein by reference.
The Shares in the Offering were offered by the Company pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-254550), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and became automatically effective upon filing on March 22, 2021. A copy of the opinion of Troutman Pepper Hamilton Sanders LLP relating to the legality of the issuance and sale of the Shares in the Offering is attached as Exhibit 5.1 hereto. This Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Shares, nor shall there be any sale of the Shares in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.
As of April 27, 2021, following the closing of the Offering, 198,166,552 shares of the Company's Common Stock will be outstanding.
