The Distribution is subject to the achievement of targeted debt leverage ratios and the completion of the Separation is subject to the receipt of any applicable shareholder and other necessary approvals and other factors and is subject to various risk factors. See Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K for additional information on the risks associated with the Separation.  There can be no assurance that the Separation will be consummated, the form any such consummated Separation would take or that a Distribution or Sale Transaction will occur as part of that Separation or that even if consummated, we will realize the anticipated benefits from the Separation.

Business Strategy

Our strategy is to enhance our position as a leading global eye health company dedicated to helping people see better to live better, through the delivery of high quality, innovative products. To achieve this goal, we plan to position the Company for sustainable and profitable long-term growth by employing the following strategies:

•Leverage our expertise as an eye health-focused company to strengthen our market position - Our comprehensive product offering—spanning over-the counter (“OTC”) products, nutritional supplements, eye health products, ophthalmic pharmaceuticals, contact lenses, lens care products and ophthalmic surgical devices and instruments— allows us to build strong brand loyalty and engage with patients and consumers throughout the entire continuum of their eye health needs over time. We intend to leverage the synergistic nature of our products, our brand equity and our relationships with physicians, patients, consumers and retailers to grow our business globally.

•Increase adoption of our products by growing our addressable market - To increase adoption of our products, we intend to continue our focus on patient, consumer and eye care professional education. In addition, we believe that we can grow our market opportunity by expanding into emerging therapeutic areas, new geographies and researching and securing other indications for our products. We intend to leverage our global regulatory and commercial capabilities to accelerate product approvals and launches across current and future markets.

•Continuous investment in our product portfolio - We continuously search for new product opportunities through internal development and through strategic licensing and acquisition opportunities, that, if successful, will allow us to leverage our commercial footprint and supplement our existing product portfolio and address specific unmet needs in the market.

•Constantly optimize the way our business operates
