 previously been kept in the dark? Did the uninformed directors have an opportunity to fulfill their duty of care 
 by inquiring about that strategic interest?                                                                                               |

| ● | Was there a fulsome and careful discussion as to whether there were any other                                                           
 expressions of strategic interest that also should have been disclosed? Did the Board then determine that the Alcon sale for cash still 
 represented the highest available price?                                                                                                |

We take no solace from the Board’s hurried reaffirmation of its
commitment to the Alcon transaction. Given the severity of the process failures, conflicts of interest, and valuation issues, we cannot
fathom how any board could properly have agreed to this deal in the first place, let alone renew its support in light of these latest,
disturbing revelations. Doing so within twelve hours is particularly troubling.

At worst, this Board has again given proper process short shrift and,
at best, has acted so swiftly as to lack credibility altogether. Either way, there appears to be a clear lack of diligent oversight and
a failure of fiduciary responsibility on this Board.

As Glass Lewis correctly pointed out, there is obviously a fair price
for the Board and shareholders to sell the Company. That price can only be determined with analytical rigor and transparency, neither
of which seem to have existed during the process that led to the current transaction. Or since.

Sincerely,
