 this Schedule 13D amendment filed by the Reporting Persons on November 3, 2025.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
 On December 10, 2025, the Reporting Persons issued via press release (the "Sixth Press Release") a third open letter to stockholders of the Issuer discussing the closing of the Issuer's go-shop period and the revised offer of Alcon to acquire the Issuer for $30.75 per share. The Sixth Press Release detailed the Reporting Persons' concerns with the go-shop process and argued that the present time is not the right time for a sale of the Issuer. The foregoing description is qualified by reference to the full text of the Sixth Press Release, which is attached as Exhibit H to this Schedule 13D amendment.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   
 The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis, taking into account the Proposed Merger. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position, the terms of the Merger Agreement, a potential superior offer, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate. In that regard, the Reporting Persons may consider contact with members of the Issuer's management, the Board, other significant stockholders, and potential alternative strategic and financial partners for the Issuer regarding alternatives that could be employed to create additional stockholder value, whether in the near or long term. The Reporting Persons may, in the future, request that the Issuer call a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of allowing stockholders to vote on the removal of certain sitting directors of the Issuer. The Reporting Persons do not have any current intent to, nor do they reserve the right to, solicit proxies in connection with such a special meeting. The Reporting Persons have no current intent to, nor do they reserve the right to, engage in a control transaction or any contested solicitation for the election of directors with respect to the Issuer. 
 Subject to market conditions and in compliance with applicable securities laws, the Reporting Persons reserve the right, at a later date, to effect transactions in the number of Shares they may be deemed to beneficially own in open-market or privately negotiated transactions, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
