Broadwood Partners, L.P. Executive Summary 8 We urge stockholders to vote against the Proposed Merger using the GREEN Proxy Card The Wrong Price The Wrong Process The Wrong Time ▪ In our view, the purchase price of $28 per share significantly undervalues STAAR, representing a substantial discount to intrinsic value ▪ STAAR's strategic value to Alcon is significant, and there are material cost savings and potential revenue synergies; notably, less than a year ago, Alcon offered much more for STAAR, 2 demonstrating STAAR's strategic value to Alcon ▪ We do not believe STAAR's long - term prospects have materially changed since then; we believe the uncompelling deal price reflects near - term market pessimism, and we are confident the Company can deliver value to stockholders far in excess of $28 per share ▪ The intrinsic value of management's own plan, at an appropriate discount rate, far exceeds $28 per share ▪ STAAR's Board chose to engage with just one counterparty - Alcon - conducting a quasi - exclusive process 2 despite a ready pool of logical and well - capitalized buyers that we believe would view STAAR as a highly strategic asset ▪ Worse, the Board made the decision to focus on Alcon despite being aware of expressed interest from other parties; these parties were not provided access and were only invited to submit proposals hours before the Merger Agreement was signed 2 ▪ The Board relied on what we regard as a flawed and manipulated fairness opinion, which used management projections that were revised downward at the last minute to cast a more pessimistic outlook on the business and unreasonable discount rate assumptions 2 ▪ We are concerned that the Board's numerous business entanglements with Alcon and management's personal financial interests influenced the timing, process and decision to sell ▪ In our view, there is no need to sell the Company now, as fundamental performance has been on the upswing ▪ That said, the refractive surgery market has been experiencing a period of softer demand, stemming largely from weakened consumer sentiment ▪ STAAR has not been immune to these near - term headwinds, and its challenges have been compounded by transitory inventory issues in China, 1 the Company's largest market, which led to a significant decline in the Company's stock price and the departure of the former CEO in Q1 2025 ▪ There are encouraging signs that STAAR's challenges are abating: the Company's inventory issues in China have been resolved, and management is forecasting a return to growth and profitability over the coming months 2 ▪ Given such evident progress and the prospect of material improvement to STAAR's business fundamentals, we see no reason why stockholders should accept a sale of the Company now, especially one priced near multi - year lows GREEN 1.

Broadwood Partners, L.P. Now Is the Wrong Time to Sell STAAR 10 STAAR's Near - Term Headwinds Are Abating and Its Prospects Remain Strong STAAR Has Been Facing Temporary Tactical Challenges ▪ Despite these near - term challenges, there is no sign that STAAR's long - term opportunity is fundamentally impaired ▪ STAAR's recent actions to replace its former CEO, restructure the management team, reduce its expenses and form a Board committee dedicated to capital allocation have helped strengthen the business ▪ The Company worked with its Chinese distributors to absorb excess inventory and, as of the end of the second quarter, inventory had returned to historical levels; STAAR now expects its China revenue to "normalize in the second half of fiscal 2025," 1 and we believe the forthcoming launch of the Company's EVO+ lens will serve as a catalyst for growth ▪ Outside of China, STAAR continues to perform well and has been delivering solid growth as ICL sales have outpaced the broader market ▪ ICLs enjoy many advantages over other refractive procedures and are expected to continue to take market share from other procedures; the advantages of ICLs over LASIK have become even more apparent following the publication of recent data, which we expect to drive further adoption ▪ In all events, in the long - term, STAAR is supported by favorable tailwinds, as myopia is expected to continue to proliferate over the coming years and decades ▪ STAAR's management itself expects the Company to grow quickly and become more profitable than ever within the next 18 months ▪ Over the last year, STAAR has been navigating temporary macroeconomic headwinds and tactical challenges that have weighed on the Company's financial results, stock price and valuation ▪ The refractive surgery market, especially in China, STAAR's largest market, has been experiencing a period of softer demand due to diminished consumer confidence and spending ▪ Compounding these near - term macroeconomic headwinds has been the fact that STAAR's previous management team delivered excess inventory to the Company's Chinese distributors - STAAR's sales in China temporarily dropped to nearly zero as the Company's distributors worked through the excess inventory ▪ After the Company's inventory issues and reduced revenue outlook were disclosed in February 2025, STAAR's stock price declined by approximately 25%, and sell - side analysts slashed their price targets A B 1.

Broadwood Partners, L.P. STAAR Has Been Facing Temporary Tactical Challenges 14 ▪ Macroeconomic factors, such as higher interest rates, elevated inflation and tariffs, have weighed on consumer confidence and contributed to a decline in consumer spending ▪ China - a key market for STAAR, which has historically accounted for more than half of the Company's sales - has faced particularly stiff headwinds because of a housing market downturn Consumer Confidence Has Deteriorated, Especially in China ▪ Refractive procedures - which are cash pay, discretionary, premium purchases - are sensitive to changes in consumer sentiment ▪ Weakened consumer confidence has temporarily negatively impacted demand for refractive surgeries around the world Refractive Procedures Are Down ▪ In February 2025, STAAR disclosed that its inventory levels in China were "elevated" and issued guidance indicating that it was expecting virtually no net sales from China - by far the Company's largest market - in the first half of 2025 ▪ This revelation, while it reflected a temporary challenge rather than a fundamental impairment to the business, sent STAAR's stock price tumbling and led to the replacement of the CEO Inventory Levels in China Grew Significantly ▪ Transitory demand and inventory challenges have negatively impacted STAAR's revenue and profitability ▪ The Company's revenue and margins are currently near trough levels, but are improving, and management expects they will not only to recover, but reach all - time highs in 2026 As a Result of These Challenges, STAAR's Financial Results Have Temporarily Deteriorated 1 2 3 4 A

Broadwood Partners, L.P. STAAR's Near - Term Headwinds Are Abating and Its Prospects Remain Strong 20 ▪ The Company has only just begun to realize benefits of an "organizational reset" that included the appointment of a new CEO, a r ealigned leadership structure, significant cost reductions, optimized inventory management, a manufacturing expansion and product innovation ▪ The Company has spent recent months addressing short - term issues like channel inventory, cost discipline and tariffs, and now ca n turn its attention to growth initiatives, cash flow generation and capital stewardship STAAR's Recent Actions Have Strengthened the Company ▪ As distributors in China worked off excess channel inventory over the last several months, STAAR's revenue in Japan, South Ko rea , the Americas and Europe, the Middle East and Africa have continued to grow ▪ STAAR's ICL procedure is the preferred surgical treatment for refractive vision correction in markets like Japan and is growing in the U. S. while laser vision procedures ( e.g. , LASIK) are declining STAAR's Core Markets Remain Strong ▪ The number of candidates for STAAR's ICL procedure is estimated at 1.1 billion and counting, with long - term growth underpinned b y the exploding myopia epidemic 1 The Total Addressable Market Is Expected to Continue to Grow ▪ Surgeons and patients are increasingly turning to EVO ICLs because they do not compromise the integrity of the eye and are fu lly removable; they also offer UV protection and improved vision through a quick procedure with a short recovery ▪ Recent data indicate that ICLs may become the dominant choice STAAR's Products Enjoy Significant Advantages Over Alternatives ▪ Despite near - term, temporary headwinds to revenue growth and profitability, management remains "very bullish" 1 about the business over the long term and is confident in its ability to grow in existing and new markets ▪ With sales in China normalizing in the second half of 2025, growth continuing in other key markets, and margin initiatives ta kin g hold, management is forecasting a quick recovery in 2026 performance, followed by strong, double - digit expected growth in revenue and EBITDA through 2030 Management Has Expressed Confidence in STAAR's Near - and Long - Term Opportunity 1 2 3 4 5 1.

Broadwood Partners, L.P. The Company's Recent Financial Results Demonstrated Improvement 21 STAAR worked off excess inventory in China, delivered strong sales in other markets and reduced expenses ▪ STAAR's financial results for Q2 2025 were strong and indicate that the Company is turning a corner - Revenue beat consensus, driven by double - digit year - over - year growth in the Americas and EMEA 3,4 - The Company meaningfully reduced costs 1 and expects to exit 2025 with SG&A expense run rate of approximately $225 million, an ~11% reduction from 2024 5 - Gross margins improved significantly 1 and are expected to return to historical levels once the Company's new manufacturing facility in Switzerland is running at capacity 5 ▪ The Company disclosed in its Q2 2025 10 - Q that the level of inventory owned by its distributors in China had "decreased substantially" 3 since the beginning of the year and had "returned to historical levels" 3 - The Q2 2025 10 - Q also disclosed that the Company expects China revenue to normalize in the second half of 2025 3 ▪ Importantly, these promising results were not disclosed until the day after the Merger was announced, because Alcon insisted on a fast signing - We believe STAAR's Q2 2025 earnings would have served as a catalyst for the stock to re - rate 1.

Broadwood Partners, L.P. STAAR's Recent Actions Have Strengthened the Company 23 The Company is in a much stronger position than it was a few months ago Potential Implications What STAAR Said Date Announced Milestone The appointment of a new CEO was the first step in an "organizational reset" intended to transform the Company in response to dynamic market conditions; we believe the benefits of this leadership change have yet to be realized "I am excited to join STAAR as CEO at this critical time… We have a best - in - class product, a strong network of surgeons, and a clear path to continued market share gains in a market that we expect to grow substantially over time… The building blocks for STAAR's success are in place , and I will be looking at opportunities for improvement, optimization, and efficiency." 1 February 26, 2025 CEO Transition STAAR took steps to right - size the organization and reduce expenses, while also continuing to support R&D productivity, which we believe will help accelerate the Company's path to profitability when the demand environment normalizes "I am confident that we have the right leadership team in place to fulfill our promise to patients, surgeons, and shareholders. Our primary objective continues to be long term revenue growth, and this commitment is unwavering. Nonetheless, we are determined to reduce costs, especially in functional areas that don't impact our customers. We have already taken a series of steps to materially reduce our long - term cost profile, and we have identified additional opportunities to better position the Company for profitable growth …" 2 March 17, 2025 Realignment of Leadership Structure The dedication of additional resources likely helped accelerate the Company's resolution of its inventory challenges in China; Mr. Jiang's continued attention to STAAR's APAC business should, in our view, facilitate the continued recovery of that business "Wei's knowledge of STAAR, our business, strategy, and people, combined with his 25+ year history of success in leadership roles at large multinational pharmaceutical companies in China, make him well suited for this role… Wei's assistance in - country will accelerate the resolution of our distribution channel challenges in China and will help us to continue to successfully navigate the evolving global tariff environment." 3 April 24, 2025 Appointment of Wei Jiang as Strategic Advisor to STAAR's APAC Business 1.

It is not surprising that Alcon would seek to purchase the Company before the benefits of these initiatives are fully realize d Potential Implications What STAAR Said Date Announced Milestone STAAR expects to exit fiscal 2025 having reduced its SG&A expense base by at least 11%, supporting margin expansion amid accelerating growth and expanded production "The Company is meaningfully cutting costs and is undertaking restructuring activities to reduce its SG&A run rate… The Company has identified spend reductions related to facilities, marketing, and staff that are expected to reduce the annualized SG&A run rate significantly below fiscal 2024 … The majority of the restructuring activities are focused on U.S. operations. The Company is also assessing other areas of potential savings [that] may be redeployed to fund strategic investments to drive future growth." 1 May 7, 2025 Cost Reductions of at least $25M The Board believed that STAAR's stock represented an attractive investment opportunity and that the intrinsic value of the Company was meaningfully higher "Our decision to initiate a share repurchase program underscores the Board's and management's confidence in STAAR's future and our ability to return to sustainable, profitable growth … With a strong balance sheet, no debt, and clear progress in our cost optimization and strategic priorities, we are well - positioned to capitalize on opportunities ahead." 2 May 16, 2025 $30M Share Repurchase Program The Board seemingly saw opportunities to create incremental value through improved capital allocation and empaneled a dedicated committee to refine the Company's capital strategies " Capital allocation is a key focus for STAAR given our growth prospects, strong cash flow generation, and opportunities to drive long - term value from our propriety Collamer® material." 3 June 25, 2025 Formation of Capital Stewardship Committee 1 B

CONFIDENTIAL © All rights reserved. Two Seas Capital LP INVESTOR PRESENTATION THE WRONG PROCESS 03

Broadwood Partners, L.P. We Believe the Board's Sale and Negotiation Process Was Flawed 37 ▪ The Board did not engage meaningfully with any potential acquirer other than Alcon and did not instruct its financial advisor, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citi"), to reach out to other parties ▪ The Merger Agreement's "window shop" provision is not a substitute for a fulsome process, in our view; such provisions almost ne ver lead to alternative bids, so it is no surprise that no parties came forward to attempt to break up a signed transaction ▪ Two other parties contacted one of STAAR's directors during the sale process, but the Board did not provide diligence materia ls or engage with them and did not even invite those parties to submit proposals until hours before the Merger Agreement was signed ▪ We are aware of a CEO of a well - capitalized and leading ophthalmology company who reached out to the STAAR's CEO and Chair in Ap ril 2025 seeking to discuss a strategic transaction; he was entirely ignored The Board Did Not Conduct Any Proactive Outreach and Seemingly Ignored Other Interested Parties ▪ STAAR's entire sale process took place over just one month because, we believe, Alcon insisted on executing an agreement befo re stockholders learned of STAAR's promising Q2 2025 results ▪ We cannot fathom why STAAR agreed to move so quickly; STAAR has ample cash, no debt and is expected to return to growth in 20 26; there was no urgent need to sell the Company The Process Was Rushed and Truncated ▪ STAAR's management delivered its initial projections in late July; however, within just ten days, the management team deliver ed an entirely new - and much more conservative - set of projections, which ultimately formed the basis of the fairness opinion used to justify the M erger ▪ It is unclear why the management team abruptly changed its view on STAAR's prospects in the final days before the Merger Agre eme nt was signed, but the revised projections resulted in a materially lower valuation range for STAAR ▪ STAAR's financial advisor also used an excessive discount rate, artificially lowering the calculated intrinsic value, and a f law ed peer set The Fairness Opinion Was Predicated on Flawed and Potentially Manipulated Assumptions ▪ STAAR's financial advisor was incentivized to facilitate a transaction with a $27 million fee contingent on the closing of th e M erger ▪ Several of STAAR's current and former directors have close ties to Alcon which, in our view, may have impaired their objectiv ity We Believe the Process Was Rife with Material Conflicts ▪ Alcon provided for accelerated vesting of equity awards, and executives will receive tax gross - ups, incentivizing management to support a sale of the Company ▪ As a result, STAAR's CEO stands to receive approximately $24 million at the closing of the Merger, even though he had been se rvi ng in his role for just five months at the time the Merger Agreement was executed We Believe the Executives Were Incentivized to Support a Sale 1 2 3 4 5

Broadwood Partners, L.P. Number of Alternative Parties Proactively Contacted During Sale Process 1 The Board Did Not Conduct Any Proactive Outreach 38 1 The Board granted Alcon the privileged position of being the only party with access to diligence materials and management ▪ STAAR's Board did not run a market check or direct the Company's financial advisor to solicit interest from any potential acquirers - This approach is unusual: all but one of the targets cited in the list of precedent transactions used in Citi's fairness opinion solicited interest from parties other than the acquirer 1 ▪ The Board was effectively passive; it responded to Alcon's unsolicited inbound interest and negotiated at Alcon's prompting, but determined not to make any outbound inquiries - This was not due to lack of outside interest; the Company's proxy statement reveals that two parties - Party A and Party B - independently contacted a Board member and expressed interest in a transaction before the Merger Agreement was executed ▪ In our view, had the Board run a fulsome process that sought to maximize the universe of potential buyers, there would have been substantial interest in STAAR, and competitive tension could have yielded a much higher price - In fact, several credible parties have contacted us to express their interest in acquiring STAAR, both before and after our opposition to the Proposed Merger became public 1. Source: Merger proxy statements on Schedule DEFM14A and tender offer solicitation/recommendation statements on Schedule 14D - 9.

STAAR received inbound inquiries from two parties - Party A and Party B - but did not provide these parties with information or access to management and did not invite them to submit proposals until just hours before the Merger Agreement was signed, aft er the sale process was effectively over. 6 5 3 2 2 2 0 0 BioTelemetry Silk Road Medical K2M Group Holdings Wright Medical Group LENSAR Cardiovascular Systems Cantel Medical STAAR Surgical² Philips (2020) Boston Scientific (2024) Stryker (2018) Stryker (2019) Alcon (2025) Abbott Labs (2023) STERIS (2021) Alcon (2025) Target Acquirer

Broadwood Partners, L.P. The Board's Rationale for Conducting a Limited Process Is Unavailing 39 1 We believe the Board erred by not conducting a more fulsome process that stoked demand and maximized competitive tension Broadwood's Response STAAR's Rationale for Not Conducting Outreach ▪ In our view, the Board's focus should have been on maximizing the value of the Company in a sale, not sparing the Board and management team from the supposed inconvenience of needing to engage with other parties ▪ We believe the incremental "disruption" from private outreach to a select group of potential acquirers would be minimal and, in all events, would largely be borne by the Company's financial advisor "[D] isruption … could result from exploratory outreaches…" 1 ▪ At the time Alcon indicated its renewed interest in acquiring STAAR in June 2025, the Company's stock was trading near multi - year lows, making STAAR an attractive target ▪ We believe many parties would have been interested in acquiring STAAR at such a depressed valuation, had they been aware the Company was exploring a sale ▪ We are aware of a CEO of a well - capitalized and leading ophthalmology company who reached out to the STAAR's CEO and Chair in April 2025 seeking to discuss a strategic transaction; he was entirely ignored, and his interest was not disclosed in the Company's proxy statement "[F] ollowing the market rumors in July 2024 that STAAR was attracting takeover interest, no potential buyers had approached STAAR." 2 ▪ The interest from Party A and Party B disclosed in the Company's proxy statement reinforces our view that there is a ready pool of credible, well - capitalized potential buyers for STAAR ▪ We know of, and have spoken with, several parties - in addition to Party A or Party B - who also seemingly had, and continue to have, an interest in owning STAAR ▪ The fact that Alcon was insisting on a rushed and truncated process should have been a sign that even Alcon recognized that other parties, if given appropriate access and time, would be interested "[T]here was unlikely to be a third party who would be able or willing to provide greater value for STAAR's stockholders on a timeline similar to the timeline Alcon was prepared to pursue…" 2 1.

Transactions Announced Since 2000 with Go - Shop or Window Shop Provision 1 A "Window Shop" Period Is Not a Substitute for a Fulsome Process 40 1 Go - shop and window shop provisions almost never lead to an alternative bid ▪ In the Company's proxy statement, the Board touts the Merger Agreement's "window shop" provision as a reason for supporting the transaction 2 ▪ However, "window shop" provisions rarely result in superior alternative bids - "Window shop" provisions do not allow boards to actively solicit alternative bids, but merely respond to unsolicited interest and recommend a superior proposal - Of more than 350 transactions with go - shop or window shop provisions over the last 25 years, just 12 have resulted in a competing bidder making an offer for the target after the merger agreement was executed 1 - Most of these 12 were full "go - shop" provisions in which the company was enabled to reach out proactively to third parties - We are therefore not surprised that no alternative buyers emerged to challenge Alcon's signed deal ▪ Given the historical evidence that "window shop" provisions do not yield alternative proposals, the Board should have insisted that Citi conduct outreach 1.

Broadwood Partners, L.P.

Broadwood Partners, L.P. Other Stockholders Have Publicly Criticized the Proposed Merger 67 [B] ased on our analysis, the proposed sale at the current proposed terms materially undervalues the Company and does not reflect the Company's intrinsic value and its standalone prospects … We believe STAAR's superior and proprietary technology, as well as its global scale, position the Company to take a significant portion of the fast - growing refractive surgery market, become an even more profitable enterprise and, ultimately, deliver upon its vision to be the first choice for surgeons and patients seeking visual freedom from glasses and contact lenses. In our view, there is no compelling reason to sell STAAR at this underwhelming price . Unless the terms are revised to address what we believe to be inadequate consideration, we intend to vote against the Proposed Merger …" 1 Christopher Min Fang Wang Chief Investment Officer Yunqi Capital Limited (owner of 5% of STAAR's outstanding shares) 3 1.

The undervalued stock price on which the accepted bid is based is the result of self - inflicted operational challenges. These should not be allowed to overshadow [STAAR's] extremely positive structural growth drivers … Alcon's current bid should have been viewed as a starting point by the STAAR Board, rather than an acceptable endpoint . A Board focused on maximizing long - term shareholder value might be expected to… seek improved terms from Alcon - or to invite competing proposals that reflect STAAR's strategic scarcity, potential synergies, and credible independent worth. To settle for less clearly leaves substantial value unavailable to shareholders and represents a significant gift to Alcon …" 2 Pascal Aeschlimann and David Bailey Former Area Manager, Asia & Middle East and Former CEO and President STAAR Surgical

Broadwood Partners, L.P. Better Alternatives Exist for Stockholders 68 Reject the transaction Reconstitute the Board and management team as necessary Potential for significant value creation as a standalone company, with strategic optionality once the Company is in a stronge r p osition ▪ Broadwood stands ready to support the Company with the recruiting and nomination of new directors and executives, if necessary ▪ Ramp up production at the Company's new Switzerland facility and continue working with partners in China to optimize inventory levels ▪ Continue the work of the Capital Stewardship Committee to refine the Company's capital allocation strategy ▪ Further reduce SG&A ▪ Launch EVO+ lens and localize manufacturing in China ▪ The Company's continued recovery, along with a more cooperative macroeconomic environment, could support a significantly higher valuation in a sale ▪ Alternatively, the Company is well positioned to drive long - term value for stockholders as an independent company Continue to execute strategic initiatives and return the Company to growth Reevaluate strategic alternatives from a position of strength

Broadwood Partners, L.P. STAAR Has a Bright Future as a Standalone Company 69 There are many reasons to be optimistic about STAAR's prospects as an independent company if the Proposed Merger is rejected ▪ STAAR's EVO ICLs offer many advantages over competing treatments, including a lower likelihood of dry eye, a shorter recovery ti me, removability and UV protection ▪ Recent data demonstrating the superiority of ICLs indicate that ICLs are poised to become the dominant choice for patients an d s urgeons Leading Technology ▪ ICLs have dominant market share in Japan (70%+), strong market share in China and growing market share in large markets like the United States ▪ While sales in China have been temporarily impacted by softened consumer demand, growth in other markets (e.g., Americas and EME A) remains robust ▪ The Company expects sales in China to normalize in the second half of 2025; we believe the forthcoming launch of the Company' s E VO+ lens - its first new lens in China in over ten years - will serve as a catalyst for growth and market share gains in the Chinese market Market Leadership ▪ Myopia affects approximately three billion people worldwide, and its prevalence is expected to grow significantly over the co min g decades due to elevated use of computers and smartphones and diminished exposure to natural light Long - Term Demand Tailwinds ▪ STAAR has nearly $200 million in cash and no debt, and therefore no evident need for near - term financing ▪ STAAR's ample cash balance and $30 million share repurchase authorization provide flexibility for the Company to support the sto ck in the event of near - term price dislocation if the Proposed Merger is not approved Pristine Balance Sheet and Ample Liquidity ▪ The Company has been cutting costs and expects to exit 2025 having reduced its SG&A expense base by at least 11%, supporting mar gin expansion amid accelerating growth and expanded production ▪ We see an opportunity to further reduce SG&A expenses, particularly in the U.S., without impacting revenue ▪ We believe there is an opportunity to enhance gross margin by localizing manufacturing and moving to "tier 1" distributors in Ch ina Enhanced Organizational Efficiency ▪ The level of inventory owned by STAAR's distributors in China has decreased substantially and has returned to historical leve ls Normalized Inventory Levels ▪ Management's projections forecast that STAAR will not only return to growth but achieve record levels of net sales and Adjust ed EBITDA within the next 18 months ▪ The Company projects net sales to compound at a rate of 10% annually from 2026 to 2030, demonstrating the long - term opportunity for growth Clear Path to Growth and Profitability

Broadwood Partners, L.P. Conclusion 70 We urge stockholders to vote against the Proposed Merger using the GREEN proxy card GREEN 1. Source: FactSet, STAAR Press Release, February 11, 2025. 2. Source: STAAR proxy statement on Form DEFM14A, filed with the SEC on September 16, 2025. The Wrong Price The Wrong Process The Wrong Time ▪ In our view, the purchase price of $28 per share significantly undervalues STAAR, representing a substantial discount to intrinsic value ▪ STAAR's strategic value to Alcon is significant, and there are material cost savings and potential revenue synergies; notably, less than a year ago, Alcon offered much more for STAAR, 2 demonstrating STAAR's strategic value to Alcon ▪ We do not believe STAAR's long - term prospects have materially changed since then; we believe the uncompelling deal price reflects near - term market pessimism, and we are confident the Company can deliver value to stockholders far in excess of $28 per share ▪ The intrinsic value of management's own plan, at an appropriate discount rate, far exceeds $28 per share ▪ STAAR's Board chose to engage with just one counterparty - Alcon - conducting a quasi - exclusive process 2 despite a ready pool of logical and well - capitalized buyers that we believe would view STAAR as a highly strategic asset ▪ Worse, the Board made the decision to focus on Alcon despite being aware of expressed interest from other parties; these parties were not provided access and were only invited to submit proposals hours before the Merger Agreement was signed 2 ▪ The Board relied on what we regard as a flawed and manipulated fairness opinion, which used management projections that were revised downward at the last minute to cast a more pessimistic outlook on the business and unreasonable discount rate assumptions 2 ▪ We are concerned that the Board's numerous business entanglements with Alcon and management's personal financial interests influenced the timing, process and decision to sell ▪ In our view, there is no need to sell the Company now, as fundamental performance has been on the upswing ▪ That said, the refractive surgery market has been experiencing a period of softer demand, stemming largely from weakened consumer sentiment ▪ STAAR has not been immune to these near - term headwinds, and its challenges have been compounded by transitory inventory issues in China, 1 the Company's largest market, which led to a significant decline in the Company's stock price and the departure of the former CEO in Q1 2025 ▪ There are encouraging signs that STAAR's challenges are abating: the Company's inventory issues in China have been resolved, and management is forecasting a return to growth and profitability over the coming months 2 ▪ Given such evident progress and the prospect of material improvement to STAAR's business fundamentals, we see no reason why stockholders should accept a sale of the Company now, especially one priced near multi - year lows
