What are the specific terms and covenants of the securities purchase agreement with JanâŻHenderson Investors?
The securities purchase agreement with JanâŻHenderson Investors sets out the following key terms and covenants for the transaction:
Quantity and Pricing â JanâŻHenderson will purchase 20âŻmillion shares of Ocugenâs common stock at a fixed price of $1.00 per share (the closing price on AugustâŻ7,âŻ2025). In addition, the investors will receive warrants that, when exercised, allow the purchase of up to an additional 20âŻmillion shares of common stock.
Warrant Mechanics â The warrants carry an exercise price of $1.50 per share and are exercisable immediately upon issuance. They have a twoâyear term from the date of issuance and will expire two years thereafter. The Company retains the right to call the warrants if the VWAP of Ocugenâs common stock exceeds $2.50 for at least five days within any trailing 30âtradingâday period.
Standard Covenants â While not detailed in the release, the agreement typically includes customary investor protections:
- Registration rights obligating Ocugen to file a registration statement with the SEC for the shares and warrants within a prescribed timeâframe;
- Indemnification provisions protecting JanâŻHenderson against losses arising from the securitiesâ issuance;
- Lockâup and resale restrictions limiting the investorsâ ability to sell the purchased shares for a set period after closing; and
- Reporting and notice covenants requiring the Company to keep JanâŻHenderson informed of material events that could affect the securities (e.g., changes in capital structure, regulatory filings, or material corporate actions).
- Registration rights obligating Ocugen to file a registration statement with the SEC for the shares and warrants within a prescribed timeâframe;
These terms give JanâŻHenderson a sizable, lowâcost stake in Ocugen while providing the Company with capital and a structured warrant program that can be called if the stock trades well above the $2.50 VWAP threshold. For traders, the warrantâcall provision is a key upside catalystâif Ocugenâs price sustains above $2.50 for a sustained period, the warrants will be called, potentially triggering a shortâcover rally and tightening supply of shares. Conversely, the twoâyear expiry and the call barrier set a clear timeline for price appreciation, making the offering a focal point for both fundamental and technical positioning.
