Item 3.01 Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy
a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing
On July 1, 2025, Ocugen, Inc.
(the “Company”) received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”)
of the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) that the Company has been granted an additional 180 calendar days, or until December
29, 2025, to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share (the “Minimum Bid Price Requirement”)
as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market.
As previously reported, on
December 31, 2024, Nasdaq notified the Company that for the last 30 consecutive business days, the closing bid price for the Company’s
common stock had been below the minimum $1.00 per share requirement for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. In accordance
with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company had a period of 180 calendar days, or until June 30, 2025, to regain compliance with
the Minimum Bid Price Requirement.
According to the Notice, if
at any time before December 29, 2025, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock is at least $1.00 per share for a minimum
of 10 consecutive business days, the Staff will provide written notification that the Company has achieved compliance with the Minimum
Bid Price Requirement and the common stock will continue to be eligible for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. If, however, compliance
with the Minimum Bid Price Requirement cannot be demonstrated by December 29, 2025, the Staff will provide written notification that the
Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting. At that time, the Company may appeal the Staff’s delisting determination
to a Nasdaq Hearing Panel (the “Panel”). There can be no assurance that, if the Company does appeal the Staff’s delisting
determination to the Panel, such appeal would be successful.
