ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         Organogenesis Inc. (the "Registrant") announced on July 18, 1995 that
the Registrant had completed an offering of 230,000 units, consisting of
1,150,000 shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value per share, ("Common Stock") and
230,000 five-year warrants, raising over $15 million. The offering was sold
directly by the Company.

         Each unit in the offering consists of five shares of Common Stock and a
warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $19.875
per shares. Both the exercise price and the number of shares of Common Stock for
which each warrant may be exercised are subject to adjustment, based on an
adjusted price which will be equal to 97% of the average of the daily volume
waited average trade price for the Company's Common Stock during a 20-day
business period beginning July 12, 1995 (the "Adjustment Price"). If the
Adjustment Price exceeds $15.25, each warrant included in the units would be
exercisable for one-half share of Common Stock. If the Adjustment Price is less
than $13.25, each investor would be issued additional warrants to purchase
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.01 per share. In such event,
the number of additional warrants to be issued would be determined by
multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock included in the units purchased
by each such investor multiplied by 13.25 minus the Adjustment Price. In no
event, however, would any such investor be entitled to additional warrants to
purchase more than five shares of Common Stock per unit.

         The Company plans to use the proceeds of this offering for preclinical
and clinical programs, product research and development, working capital and
general corporate purposes.
