INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS REPORT ON FORM 6-K

On May 22, 2023, Oculis Holding AG (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing positive topline results from Stage 1 of the DIAMOND Phase 3 trial in Diabetic Macular Edema with OCS-01 eye drops and held a conference call. Topical OCS-01 met the primary and secondary endpoints in Stage 1 with robust statistical significance. The primary endpoint was mean change in BCVA compared to baseline at Week 6. OCS-01 showed a statistically significant improvement in BCVA over baseline compared to vehicle (OCS-01: 7.2 letters vs vehicle: 3.1 letters, p=0.007). This effect was sustained to Week 12 with statistical significance (OCS-01: 7.6 letters vs vehicle: 3.7 letters, p=0.016). The Company also observed a higher percentage of patients in the OCS-01 group who achieved >15-letter improvement in BCVA from baseline vs vehicle at Week 6 (OCS-01: 25.3% vs vehicle: 9.8%, p=0.015), which was sustained to Week 12 (OCS-01: 27.4% vs vehicle 7.5%, p=0.009). The effect on retinal thickness was also observed with a statistically significant decrease in CST at Week 6 vs baseline in the OCS-01 treatment arm (OCS-01: -63.6 µm vs vehicle: +5.5 µm, p<0.0001). The decrease in retinal thickness persisted to Week 12 (-61.6 µm vs -16.0 µm, p=0.004). OCS-01 was well tolerated, with no unexpected adverse events observed. The OCS-01 development program will continue as planned with Stage 2 which includes two global trials, each enrolling approximately 350-450 patients. The Company expects to begin Stage 2 of the DIAMOND trial in the second half of this year. Enclosed hereto are copies of the press release and related investor presentation, which is also available on the Company’s website.
