On March 20, 2024, Ramesh Kumar, PhD, a member of the board of directors since 2019 notified Ocugen, Inc. that he will not stand for re-election as a director of the Company upon the expiration of his current term, which expires at the Company?s 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Class I directors of the Board of Directors, of which Mr. Kumar is a member, terms expire at the Annual Meeting and are up for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Dr. Kumar?s refusal to stand for re-election was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company?s operations, policies or practices.
