Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Commitments The Company has commitments under certain license and development agreements, lease agreements, commitments related to renovating an existing facility for GMP, and debt agreements. Commitments under certain license and development agreements include annual payments, payments upon the achievement of certain milestones, and royalty payments based on net sales of licensed products (commitments under the Company's license and development agreements are more fully described within the Company's 2025 Annual Report). Commitments under lease agreements are future minimum lease payments (see Note 7). Commitments under Convertible Notes (see Note 9) and debt agreements are the future payment of principal and accrued interest under the EB-5 Loan Agreement (see Note 10). Contingencies In April 2024, a securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company and certain of its agents in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania ("Court") (Case No. 2:24-cv-01500) that purported to state a claim for alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, based on statements made by the Company concerning the Company's previously-issued audited consolidated financial statements for each fiscal year beginning January 1, 2020 and its previously-issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for each of the first three quarters in such years and the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures during each such period. The complaint sought unspecified damages, interest, attorneys' fees, and other costs. In October 2024, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint, and in December 2024, the Company filed a motion to dismiss. In February 2025, the lead plaintiff filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss, and the Company filed a reply in support of the motion to dismiss in March 2025. In July 2025, the Company’s motion to dismiss, with prejudice, was granted. The lead plaintiff appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ("Third Circuit") regarding the order that was entered in July 2025, which dismissed the action with prejudice. The lead plaintiff’s appellant's brief and joint appendix were filed in October 2025, the Company’s appellees’ brief was filed in December 2025, and the lead plaintiff’s reply brief was filed in January 2026. The Third Circuit heard oral argument in June 2026, and the parties are waiting for the Third Circuit's ruling. In May 2024, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed on behalf of the Company against certain of its agents and the nominal defendant Ocugen in the Court (Case No. 2:24-cv-02234) that purported to state a claim for breach of fiduciary duties, unjust enrichment, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets, violations of Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act, and contribution for violations of Sections 10(b) and 21(d) of the Exchange Act, based on the facts and circumstances relating to the securities class action and seeking damages and certain governance reforms in connection with claims asserted in the securities class action. In June 2024, the Court approved the parties’ joint stipulation for an order staying the derivative lawsuit pending resolution of a motion to dismiss in the related securities class action. In the third quarter of 2024, four additional stockholder derivative lawsuits were filed on behalf of the Company against certain of its agents and the nominal defendant Ocugen in the Court (Case Nos. 2:24-cv-03119, 2:24-cv-03209, 2:24-cv-04813, 2:24-cv-04864) asserting similar facts and claims as the first complaint, and in March 2025, the Court consolidated these five derivative lawsuits and stayed the lawsuits pending resolution of the motion to dismiss in the related securities class action. Under consolidated Case No. 2:24-cv-02234, an amended shareholder derivative complaint was filed by a plaintiff in May 2025, and an amended shareholder derivative complaint was filed by two other plaintiffs in June 2025. In August 2025, the Court approved the parties’ joint stipulation to continue the stay during the pendency of the appeal filed in the related securities class action. In January 2025, a stockholder derivative lawsuit was filed on behalf of the Company against certain of its agents and the nominal defendant Ocugen in the Delaware Court of Chancery ("Delaware Court") (Case No. 2025-0095-JTL) asserting similar facts and claims related to breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment and insider trading, and in March 2025, the Delaware Court approved the parties’ joint stipulation for an order staying the lawsuit pending resolution of a motion to dismiss in the related securities class action. In September 2025, the Delaware Court approved the parties’ joint stipulation to continue the stay during the pendency of the appeal filed in the related securities class action. In October 2025, a securities class action lawsuit was filed against the Company in the Delaware Court (Case No. 2025-1214) that purported to state claims for breach of contract, declaratory judgment under 8 Del. C. § 225(b) and declaratory judgment under 10 Del. C. § 6501 based on allegations that the Company breached provisions of the Company’s charter and attempted to evade the voting threshold in the Company’s charter. The complaint seeks unspecified damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and other costs among injunctive relief and other governance related actions and declarations. On February 12, 2026, the Company filed a petition (the “Petition”) in the Delaware Court pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law seeking validation of the Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s charter increasing the Company’s number of authorized shares of common stock, and all shares of the Company’s common stock issued in reliance on the effectiveness and validity thereof. Concurrently with the filing of the Petition, the Company filed a motion to expedite the hearing on the Petition, which was held on May 6, 2026. At the hearing, the Delaware Court validated the Certificate of Amendment and declared it effective and declared valid all shares of the Company's common stock issued after the effectiveness of the Certificate of Amendment on July 11, 2024. In July 2026, the Delaware Court entered an amended stipulation and order dismissing the class action complaint as moot given the decision in the Section 205 action and retained jurisdiction of the action for the purpose of adjudicating any future fee and expense application in connection with the mooted claims. The Company believes that these lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against them. At this time, no assessment can be made as to their likely outcome or whether the outcome will be material to the Company. No information is available to indicate that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and can be reasonably estimated as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and, as such, no accrual for the loss has been recorded within the condensed consolidated financial statements.
