(\u201cAlcon\u201d) (NYSE: ALC) regarding its proposed acquisition of STAAR Surgical Company (\u201cSTAAR\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) (NASDAQ: STAA). Broadwood, which owns 27.5% of STAAR\u2019s outstanding common stock, continues to urge its fellow shareholders to vote on its <b><span class=\"bwuline\">GREEN<\/span><\/b> Proxy Card \u201c<b><span class=\"bwuline\">AGAINST<\/span><\/b>\u201d the proposed transaction.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNeal C. Bradsher, Broadwood Founder and President, said:\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwmarginl1\">\n\u201cToday\u2019s press release and presentation from Alcon, which required STAAR\u2019s approval, is disappointingly replete with fallacious arguments and baseless claims, all in service of preserving Alcon\u2019s privileged but misbegotten position as STAAR\u2019s chosen acquirer. We are dismayed that the STAAR Board, despite its fiduciary duty to STAAR shareholders, would sanction the publication of such misleading statements regarding STAAR\u2019s own business prospects and the integrity and results of two of its largest shareholders.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwmarginl1\">\nGiven the overwhelmingly negative reaction of STAAR shareholders (and all three proxy advisors) to the timing, process and price of the proposed Alcon transaction, there is no reason for the Board of Directors to take direction from Alcon. There is no justification for prolonging this process, and the distraction and damage to STAAR\u2019s business it creates, for Alcon\u2019s benefit. Shareholders should be allowed to reject this transaction, as they were poised to do before the Board first adjourned, and then further postponed, the Special Meeting. After this deal is rightly rejected, the Board will have complete freedom to decide when and how, if at all, to conduct a sale process; the Board therefore does not need Alcon\u2019s permission to run a \u2018go-shop\u2019 and should not further delay the vote.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwmarginl1\">\nLacking facts on their side and good arguments on the merits, Alcon and STAAR have taken instead to <i>ad hominem<\/i> attacks. Needless to say, Alcon and STAAR have grossly misrepresented our track record in specific investments and overall, while ignoring our numerous successes: $1 million invested with Broadwood at the beginning of 2000 is now worth more than $47 million. If Alcon had generated annualized shareholder returns since its spinout in 2019 on par with our record, then Alcon\u2019s stock would be trading at more than $150 per share, instead of $75. Perhaps then Alcon would have the mandate from its own shareholders to pay a fair price for STAAR.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwmarginl1\">\nWe continue to caution the STAAR Board against taking any substantive or procedural steps with respect to this transaction without the input and alignment of STAAR\u2019s shareholders.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nShareholders can learn more at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.letstaarshine.com%2F&amp;esheet=54351905&amp;newsitemid=20251104591082&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=www.LetSTAARShine.com&amp;index=1&amp;md5=5743aa29fc4b7cacfae0c18a4f4a21e5\">www.LetSTAARShine.com<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Broadwood<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nBroadwood Partners, L.P. is managed by Broadwood Capital, Inc.
