75, which is the Merger Consideration. The calculations in the table below do not attempt to forecast any adjustments in compensation that may occur following the date of this proxy
statement, including additional awards, grants or forfeitures that may occur prior to the Effective Time or any awards that, by their terms, vest irrespective of the Merger prior to the Effective Time. As a result of the foregoing assumptions, which
may or may not actually occur or be accurate on the relevant date, including the assumptions described in the footnotes to the table, the actual amounts, if any, to be received by a named executive officer may materially differ from the amounts set
forth below. Prior to the entry of the Second Amendment, STAAR had the ability under the Merger Agreement to enter into gross-up agreements with individuals reasonably expected to be adversely affected by excise taxes under Sections 280G
and 4999 of the Code (subject to an aggregate cap of $15 million), and the table quantifying payments and benefits to STAAR’s Named Executive Officers included a column for Tax Reimbursements. As discussed above, pursuant to the Second
Amendment, STAAR agreed not to pay 280G tax gross-ups nor enter into gross-up agreements. Accordingly, the table below no longer includes a column for Tax Reimbursements, and the amounts in the Total column no longer reflect amounts for such tax
reimbursements.
