Publishes Presentation
Detailing Opposition to STAAR Surgical’s Sale to Alcon

Broadwood Believes the Transaction Comes at the Wrong Time,
After the Wrong Process, and at the Wrong Price

For the Reasons Described in the Presentation, Broadwood Urges All Stockholders to Vote “ AGAINST” the Proposed Merger</div>

NEW
YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Broadwood Partners, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, “Broadwood”), holders of approximately
27.5% of the outstanding common stock of STAAR Surgical Company (“STAAR” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: STAA), today
announced that it has published a presentation outlining why stockholders should vote on Broadwood’s GREEN
Proxy Card “ AGAINST” the proposed
acquisition of the Company by an affiliate of Alcon Inc. (NYSE: ALC) on the terms announced on August 5, 2025. The 81-page presentation
is available here and on www.LetSTAARShine.com.

Neal Bradsher, President of Broadwood, stated:

“We believe that there was no compelling
reason to sell STAAR at this time. Moreover, the Board of Directors failed to conduct a sale process in a responsible manner and ultimately
agreed to a price that significantly undervalues STAAR and its bright future. Our presentation provides important new information regarding
the deep flaws in this process and valuation.

I am pleased that two other notable
stockholders have publicly opposed the transaction: Yunqi Capital Limited, which owns 5.1% of STAAR’s common stock, and David Bailey,
the former CEO of STAAR. Before making their voting decisions, all stockholders are encouraged to review our presentation, which describes
why this transaction comes at the wrong time, after the wrong process, and at the wrong price.”
