Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On November 8, 2012, OXiGENE, Inc. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference. This information shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events

The press release also announces that the Company’s board of directors has approved the filing of a proxy statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a special meeting of the Company’s stockholders, at which the Company will ask stockholders to approve a reverse stock split in a range of 1:5 to 1:20. The specific stock split ratio within that range will be selected by the board in its discretion, if the stock split is approved by stockholders. The board is taking this step because it believes that it is necessary and in the best interests of stockholders to maintain the listing of the common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, in order to enhance the Company’s prospects for raising capital.
