Dear Shareholder:

 

We have previously sent you proxy material for Ocugen, Inc.’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders taking place on June 9, 2023. Your Board of Directors unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR ALL” directors nominated for election to the Board and “FOR” the other two agenda items.

 

Your vote is important, no matter how many or how few shares you may own. If you have not already done so, please vote TODAY via the Internet, by telephone, or by returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

Shankar Musunuri 

Chairman of the Board, CEO and Co-Founder
