 in an uncontested director election will only be elected if they receive more “For” votes than “Against” votes. In the event that more than ten nominees are proposed for election at the Meeting, votes “Against” will be treated as “Withhold” votes. |

| + | Proposal No. 2:Proposal No. 2 is a non-binding advisory vote. You may select “For,” “Against” or “Abstain” with respect to such proposal. Abstentions will have no effect and will not be counted as votes cast on Proposal No. 2. |

| + | Proposal No. 3:With respect to the appointment of the proposed auditor, you may either vote “For” such appointment or “Withhold” your vote with respect to such appointment. If you vote “For” the appointment of the proposed auditor, your B+L Common Shares will be voted accordingly. If you select “Withhold” with respect to the appointment of the proposed auditor, your vote will not be counted as a vote cast for the purposes of appointing the proposed auditor. |

What is the effect if I do not cast my vote? If a record shareholder does not cast its vote by proxy or in any other permitted fashion, no votes will be cast on its behalf on any of the items of business at the Meeting. If a non-record shareholder does not instruct its intermediary on how to vote on any of the items of business at the Meeting and the intermediary does not have discretionary authority to vote the non-record shareholder’s B+L Common Shares on the matter, or elects not to vote in the absence of instructions from the non-record shareholder, no votes will be cast on behalf of such non-record shareholder with respect to such item (a “broker non-vote”). If you are a beneficial owner whose B+L Common Shares are held of record by a broker authorized to trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), NYSE rules permit your broker to exercise discretionary voting authority to vote your B+L Common Shares on Proposal No. 3, the appointment of PwC as our auditor, even if the broker does not receive voting instructions from you. However, NYSE rules do not permit your broker to exercise discretionary authority to vote on Proposal No. 1, the election of directors, or Proposal No. 2, the advisory vote to approve the compensation of our named executive officers. If you have further questions on this issue, please contact your intermediary bank or broker or Bausch + Lomb Corporation
