As you know, we strongly disagree with that decision.<\/p>\n<p>\nOne thing we can surely agree on, however, is that this Board is, at best, one-for-two in making decisions about selling STAAR. With hundreds of millions of dollars of shareholder money at stake, that is not good enough.<\/p>\n<p>\nSixteen months ago, you decided <span class=\"bwuline\">not<\/span> to sell the Company to Alcon for <span class=\"bwuline\">$58<\/span> per share in cash. You walked away from the table because of your belief in STAAR\u2019s strong business prospects.<sup>1<\/sup> Yet now, with little change in the market, management\u2019s financial forecasts, or STAAR\u2019s opportunities, you have decided to sell the Company for $28 per share.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cNo\u201d to $58.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cYes\u201d to $28.<\/p>\n<p>\nAs your largest shareholder, we believe the Board got it right the first time.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Board wants shareholders to believe that its decision to sell the Company now, at less than half the price, was based on a reassessment of the Company\u2019s business performance and outlook. But we cannot fathom how that could be.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Company had a difficult few quarters, to be sure, as demand in China slowed temporarily and excess inventory was worked off. But now, STAAR\u2019s prospects are sound, with sufficient cash, strong demand, new products ready to be launched, and cost savings opportunities to drive future profitability. In fact, if management\u2019s own projections are achieved, the company will experience double-digit revenue growth and profit margins that are among the highest of any midsized medical technology company in the world. And those projections are consistent with the company\u2019s prospects at the time you rejected $58 per share.<\/p>\n<p>\nWe can only assume that the Board does not believe in this management\u2019s latest forecast. But shareholders have no reason to trust your assessment of the future. When you decided not to sell for $58 per share, for example, you evidently did not foresee the transitory troubles in China that would occur six months later. If you could not foresee a problem that was mere months away \u2013 and one that you now claim caused a collapse of enterprise value by more than 50% \u2013 why should any investor rely on your judgment or foresight today?<\/p>\n<p>\nWe continue to believe the business is far more valuable than $28 per share and the Company\u2019s prospects are as bright as ever. We are disappointed with your one-for-two track record, which inspires no confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor these reasons, we will vote against this transaction and are <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fletstaarshine.com%2F&amp;esheet=54334138&amp;newsitemid=20251005004584&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=encouraging&amp;index=2&amp;md5=9c43d29ff63312af61b29f179749306b\">encouraging<\/a> our fellow shareholders to vote \u201c<b><span class=\"bwuline\">AGAINST<\/span><\/b>\u201d the deal too.
