Pre-Merger Financing Warrants

On September 27, 2019, Ocugen completed the Merger with Former Ocugen. Immediately prior to the Merger, Ocugen and Former Ocugen completed a previously announced private placement transaction with certain Investors pursuant to the Financing SPA, whereby, among other things, (i) Former Ocugen issued to the Investors shares of Former Ocugen’s common stock, (ii) Former Ocugen issued and deposited additional shares of Former Ocugen’s common stock into escrow, and (iii) the

Company agreed to issue on the fifth trading day following the consummation of the Merger, Series A Warrants, Series B Warrants, and Series C Warrants.

The Pre-Merger Financing Warrants are subject to blocker provisions which restrict the exercise of the Pre-Merger Financing Warrants if, as a result of such exercise, the holder, together with its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99% of the outstanding common stock, including the common shares issuable upon such exercise, as such percentage ownership is determined in accordance with the terms of the Pre-Merger Financing Warrants.

If Ocugen fails to issue to a holder of the Pre-Merger Financing Warrants the number of shares of common stock to which such holder is entitled upon such holder’s exercise of the such warrants, then Ocugen shall be obligated to pay the holder on each day while such failure is continuing an amount equal to 2.0% of the market value of the undelivered shares determined using any trading price of the common stock selected by the holder as in effect at any time during the period from delivery of the exercise notice until the applicable share delivery date, and if the holder purchases shares of common stock in connection with such failure, then Ocugen must, at the holder’s discretion, reimburse the holder for the cost of such shares or deliver the owed shares and reimburse the holder for the difference between the price such holder paid for such shares and the closing market price for shares of common stock on the date of exercise.

On November 5, 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with each Investor that amends the terms of each of the Pre-Merger Financing Warrants held by each such Investor (collectively, the “Warrant Amendments”). The terms of the Pre-Merger Financing Warrants and the Warrant Amendments are discussed below.

Series A Warrants

The Series A Warrants have an initial exercise price per share of $7.13, were exercisable upon issuance and have a term of 60 months from the date of issuance. The Series A Warrants are exercisable for up to 8.8 million shares of Ocugen common stock.

The Series A Warrants have an anti-dilution adjustment whereby if Ocugen issues or sells, enters into a definitive, binding agreement pursuant to which Ocugen is required to issue or sell or is deemed, pursuant to the provisions of the Series A Warrants, to have issued or sold, any common stock for a price per share lower than the exercise price then in effect (a “Dilutive Issuance”), subject to certain limited exceptions, then (i) the exercise price of the Series A Warrants shall be reduced to such lower price per share and (ii) the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants shall be increased to the number of shares of common stock determined by multiplying (a) the exercise price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance by (b) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance (without giving effect to any limitation on exercise contained therein), and dividing the product thereof by the exercise price resulting from such Dilutive Issuance.

Each Series A Warrant was amended pursuant to the Warrant Amendments such that an equity financing involving a research or non-profit foundation or organization qualified under Section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in an amount of gross proceeds not to exceed $10.0 million and closing on or prior to May 31, 2020, will be excluded from the anti-dilution adjustment, as set forth in the Series A Warrant.

Series B Warrants

The Series B Warrants have an exercise price of $0.01, were exercisable after the completion of a 10 trading-day period following the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the resale of common stock into which such warrants were exercisable and will expire on the date on which the Series B Warrants have been exercised in full (without giving effect to any limitation on exercise contained therein) and no shares remain issuable thereunder. The Series B Warrants were initially exercisable by a holder for 8.0 million shares of common stock.

Additionally, each Series B Warrant included a Reset Period pursuant to which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants shall be increased during certain Reset Periods (as defined in the Series B Warrants) pursuant to a formula based on the greater of (i) 80% of the arithmetic average of the two lowest dollar volume-weighted average prices of a share of Ocugen common stock on Nasdaq during the applicable Reset Period immediately preceding the applicable Reset Date to date and (ii) $1.00 (the “Reset Price”). Among other things, the Reset Period was triggered by the effectiveness of the registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock underlying the warrants (the "Registration Statement') which became effective on November 5, 2019. The Warrant Amendments provided that Series B Warrants would not be exercisable and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement would not trigger the Reset Period until the completion of a 10 trading-day period following the SEC’s declaring it effective. The Reset Period commenced on November 20, 2019. As the dollar volume-weighted average prices of Ocugen’s common stock on Nasdaq was under $1.00 for the first two trading days of

the Reset Period, the Investors elected to advance the end of the Reset Period to November 21, 2019 and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants was increased based on a Reset Price of $1.00. This reset resulted in an aggregate of 12.6 million additional shares of common stock becoming issuable upon exercise of the Series B Warrants.

Series C Warrants

The Series C Warrants were exercisable upon issuance for up to 50.0 million shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $7.13 per share. Each of the Series C Warrants was amended pursuant to the Warrant Amendments to permit the Investors, in lieu of making any cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon the exercise of the Series C Warrant, to elect instead to receive upon such exercise up to 20.0 million shares of common stock. Prior to the Warrant Amendments, the Series C Warrants had permitted the exercise without any cash payment of up to 50.0 million shares of common stock in the event that the volume weighted-average price of the common stock on Nasdaq was less than or equal to $1.20 per share on any five trading days following the issuance of the Series C Warrants. The Series C Warrants will expire upon the 45^th trading day immediately following the earlier to occur of (i) the date the holder can sell all shares issuable upon exercise of the Series C Warrants pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction or limitation and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and (ii) October 4, 2020, provided that if such date falls on a day other than a business day or on which trading does not take place on Nasdaq (a “Holiday”), the next day that is not a Holiday.

The following table summarizes the activity of the Pre-Merger Financing Warrants, including the effect of the Warrant Amendments:

Accounting for the Pre-Merger Financing Warrants

Although the Pre-Merger Financing Warrants were issued on October 4, 2019, the agreement for issuance of the Pre-Merger Financing Warrants was a firm commitment reached between Ocugen and the Investors as part of the Financing SPA upon the closing of the Merger. Therefore, for accounting purposes the issuance date was determined to be the date of the Merger. As of the date of the Merger, the Series A Warrants and Series C Warrants were classified as equity and the Series B Warrants were classified as a liability on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Series B Warrants were classified as a liability as they did not meet the derivative scope exception related to equity indexation because the Reset Date was triggered on the effective date of a Registration Statement and the timing of when a Registration Statement for the underlying shares is available is not an input in an option pricing model. Series B Warrants were classified as a derivative liability in the consolidated balance sheet measured at fair value on September 27, 2019 and marked to market at September 30, 2019. Upon the completion of the Reset Period, the Series B Warrants were reassessed and determined to meet the derivative scope exception allowing for equity classification. The Series B Warrants were marked to market a final time as a change in the fair value of a derivative liability and the remaining liability balance was reclassified to equity. Subsequent to the Reset Period, almost all of the Series B Warrants were exercised for shares of common stock.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the Series B Warrant liability:


	Amount
Balance at January 1, 2019	$	—
Fair value at issuance (September 27, 2019)	9,387,760
Change in fair value of embedded derivatives	1,867,980
Amount reclassified to equity	(11,255,740)
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	—

The fair value of the Series B Warrants upon issuance was calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation while estimating the stock price during the 45-day Reset Period, based on the terms described within the Financing SPA. Key fair value inputs included the starting stock price, expected stock volatility during the 45-day Reset Period, and additional shares issued from escrow. The methodology for measuring fair value was sensitive to the expected stock volatility assumption input mentioned above. The volatility used in the fair value estimate at issuance was 96.0%. Inputs used in the valuation are unobservable and are therefore classified as Level 3 fair value inputs. The fair value of the Series B Warrants upon the end of the Reset Period was based on a Black-Scholes valuation model, which is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Accounting for the Warrant Amendments

The Company accounted for the Warrant Amendments as a modification by assessing whether the modification resulted in an incremental fair value of the warrants. An increase in fair value resulting from the modification may be recognized as expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, whereas a decrease in fair value is not recognized. The Company determined that the modifications to the Series A Warrants and Series B Warrants were not substantive amendments that would result in an increase in fair value based on a qualitative assessment of the terms of the amendments. The Series C Warrants were determined to substantially modified. The Company estimated the fair value of the Series C Warrants immediately prior to and immediately after the modification and concluded that the fair value of the warrants decreased and therefore there was no incremental fair value to recognize resulting from the modification.

Former Ocugen Warrants

Prior to 2018, Former Ocugen issued warrants to investors of the Company pursuant to a stockholders' agreement and to two employees of the Company pursuant to their respective employment agreements. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, 0.9 million warrants to purchase common stock were outstanding and exercisable and had a weighted average exercise price of $5.67 per share. The warrants expire between 2025 and 2027.
