Within 120 days after the Effective
Time, any stockholder or beneficial owner who has complied with the requirements for the exercise of appraisal rights, will be entitled, upon written request, to receive from the Surviving Corporation a statement setting forth the aggregate number
of shares of STAAR common stock not voted in favor of the proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and with respect to which STAAR received demands for appraisal, and the aggregate number of stockholders or beneficial owners holding or owning such
