 assumed and converted into a restricted stock unit award in respect of a number of Alcon shares (each an “Adjusted RSU Award”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying
(i) the total number of shares subject to the STAAR RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the quotient of (A) the Merger Consideration divided by (B) the volume-weighted average price of an Alcon share
on the New York Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the last trading day prior to the Closing Date as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. (such quotient, the “RSU Exchange Ratio”), with any fractional
shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted RSU Award will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding STAAR RSU Award, including vesting terms, as of immediately prior to the Effective
Time (including that vesting will be accelerated upon a termination of employment within 12 months following the Effective Time due to a termination without cause or a resignation by the award holder for good reason); provided that each Adjusted RSU
Award held by a non-employee member of the Board of Directors as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be fully vested as of the Effective Time.

At the Effective Time, each STAAR RSU Award that is held by an individual other than a non-employee member of the Board and that is
granted on or after August 4, 2025 (subject to certain exceptions) will be converted into a restricted stock unit award in respect of a number of Alcon shares equal to (a) the total number of shares subject to such STAAR RSU Award
immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (b) the RSU Exchange Ratio, and otherwise subject to the same terms and conditions as apply to such STAAR RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (including that the vesting
will be accelerated pro rata upon a termination within 24 months following the Effective Time without cause or, for employees at the Vice President level or above, for good reason).

STAAR PSU Awards. At the Effective Time, each STAAR PSU Award (whether or not then vested) will be assumed and converted into a
restricted stock unit award in respect of a number of Alcon shares (each an “Adjusted PSU Award”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of shares subject to the STAAR PSU Award
