Ken Inchausti

Thank you, operator. I'd like to welcome you to our conference call. With me today are Ocugen's Chairman and CEO and Co-Founder, Dr. Shankar Musunuri, who will provide a business update and our Chief Accounting Officer and Senior Vice President of Finance, Jessica Crespo, who will provide a financial update.

Earlier this morning, we issued a press release, including a business update and first-quarter financial results for 2022. We encourage listeners to review the press release, which is available on our website at www.ocugen.com. This call is also being recorded and a replay along with accompanying slides will be available on the Investors' section of the Ocugen website for approximately 45 days.

As always, we need to advise you that this call will contain forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations including among other things; the uncertainties inherent in research and development of our product candidates; risks to our business related to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; uncertainty regarding whether and when we will be able to submit a biologics license application for Covaxin to the FDA; and whether and when we will receive regulatory approvals for Covaxin in the U.S., Canada, or Mexico.

These and other risks and uncertainties are more fully described in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the risk factors described in the section entitled risk factors in the quarterly and annual reports that we file with the SEC.

You should read carefully the risks and uncertainties described in today's press release as well as the risk factors included in our filings with the SEC. Finally, our 10-Q will be filed soon after today's call.
