Ocugen-Carisma merger terminated after Ocugen failed to secure $25M investment
Ocugen, Inc.
- Carisma terminated Merger Agreement on Sep 16, 2025 because Ocugen obtained less than $25M in commitments for the Concurrent Investment.
- Ocugen attributes difficulty to poor market conditions and the tight timeline before Carisma's Nasdaq compliance deadline of Oct 7, 2025.
- Ocugen will focus on gene therapies and continue exploring other options for its regenerative cell therapy platform, including NeoCart.
