Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On April 22, 2026, Sight Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) received notification that the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”) entered its final judgment (the “Final Judgment”) regarding the patent infringement case (the “Litigation”) filed by the Company in September 2021 against Alcon Inc., Alcon Vision, LLC, Alcon Research, LLC, and Ivantis, Inc. (collectively, “Alcon”). The Company had asserted that Alcon’s sale of the Hydrus® Microstent (“Hydrus”) infringed three of the Company’s patents. The patents at issue were U.S. Patent Nos. 8,287,482, 9,370,443, and 11,389,328 (the “Patents”). The Final Judgment upheld the trial jury’s findings that the Patent claims asserted by the Company at trial were valid and were willfully infringed by Alcon.

The Final Judgment also awarded total monetary damages to the Company of $55.4 million. This award is inclusive of: (i) $34.0 million in past damages for the period from the first commercial sale of Hydrus through April 26, 2024, the date the trial jury rendered its verdict (the “Verdict Date”), (ii) $14.7 million in supplemental damages for the period from the Verdict Date through March 31, 2026, and (iii) $6.8 million in pre-judgment and post-judgment interest through April 17, 2026. In addition, the Final Judgment awarded the Company an ongoing royalty of 10% of Hydrus revenue through the date of expiration of the last of the Patents. The Final Judgment is subject to appeal by Alcon.

Absent settlement, no monetary damages will be received by the Company unless and until (i) Alcon exhausts its rights to appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the appeals court affirms a judgment in the Company’s favor, or (ii) the time for filing an appeal has passed. During the pendency of any such appeal, interest and royalties will continue to accrue in accordance with the terms of the Final Judgment. In addition, if an adverse, final and non-appealable judgment from one or more of the ex parte reexamination proceedings initiated by Alcon (seeking to invalidate the Patent claims we asserted at trial) is entered by the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals before a favorable final and non-appealable judgment from the Litigation is entered by that same appeals court, it could negatively affect the Company’s ability to collect on the Final Judgment.

The information in Item 7.01 of this Current Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information shall not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as otherwise expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
