(\u201cAlcon\u201d) (NYSE: ALC).\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Special Meeting, which was originally scheduled to be held on October 23, 2025, was adjourned in the face of then-pending rejection, rescheduled (following two subsequent postponements) to be held on December 19, 2025. And today \u2013 seemingly in the face of yet another strong shareholder rebuke of the deal \u2013 it was postponed yet again, until January 6, 2026.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNeal C. Bradsher, Broadwood Founder and President, said:\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwmarginl1\">\n\u201cSTAAR has had more than four months to justify its ill-advised sale to Alcon. The Company and its would-be acquirer have sought to apply lipstick to this pig of a deal by conducting a performative go-shop process, issuing more than a dozen press releases, releasing multiple investor presentations pouring cold water on STAAR\u2019s own prospects \u2013 which remain bright \u2013 and making hundreds or thousands of phone calls to shareholders.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwmarginl1\">\nThere has been ample time and opportunity for STAAR to tell its story and attempt to cajole shareholders into supporting this misbegotten transaction. Yet, several large shareholders, all three proxy advisory firms, and at least one of the Company\u2019s own directors have continued to express skepticism about the process, timing, and price of the proposed transaction. Nevertheless, the Special Meeting has been delayed for a <i>fourth<\/i> time. Another few weeks of advocacy and solicitation will not cure the defects of the deal.\n<\/p>\n<p class=\"bwmarginl1\">\nUltimately, the Board cannot avoid shareholder input forever. For our part, we stand ready to work with the Board and our fellow shareholders to ensure STAAR\u2019s bright future. In all events, shareholders should be permitted to have their final say on January 6. We urge shareholders to stand firm and vote \u2018<b><span class=\"bwuline\">AGAINST<\/span><\/b>\u2019 the proposed transaction, and we encourage the Board and Alcon to accept the outcome with humility.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Broadwood<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nBroadwood Partners, L.P. is managed by Broadwood Capital, Inc.
