Ocugen is trading at $1.15 (+7.98%) in after-hours trading after announcing a $40 million registered direct offering.

  • The offering sells 20 million shares at $2.00 to one healthcare-focused institutional investor.
  • The financing supports late-stage blindness gene-therapy trials and improves near-term funding visibility.
  • The rebound follows a 19.92% regular-session decline after uncertainty surrounding interim OCU410ST results, which showed a negative treatment direction in 26 subjects; the trial will continue.
