Although STAAR offers multiple voting methods, STAAR encourages you to vote over the Internet or by telephone as STAAR believes they are the most cost-effective methods. STAAR also recommends that you vote as soon as possible, even if you are planning to attend the Special Meeting, so that the vote count will not be delayed. Both the Internet and telephone provide convenient, cost-effective and reliable alternatives to returning your proxy card by mail. If you choose to vote your shares of STAAR common stock over the Internet or by telephone, there is no need for you to submit your proxy card by mail. All shares of STAAR common stock represented by properly signed and dated proxies received by the deadline indicated above will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the STAAR stockholder. Properly signed and dated proxies that do not contain voting instructions for one or more specific proposals will be voted with respect to the proposals for which instructions are not provided (1) “ FOR” the Merger Proposal and (2) “ FOR” the Compensation Proposal. If you indicate on your proxy card that you wish to vote in favor of the Merger Proposal but do not indicate a choice on the Compensation Proposal, your shares of STAAR common stock will be voted “ FOR” each such proposal. Proxy cards that are returned without a signature will not be counted as present at the Special Meeting and cannot be voted.
