Broadwood Partners, L.P. and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Broadwood Group”) have filed a definitive proxy statement in connection with the Special Meeting. We recommend that STAAR stockholders disregard any proxy card sent to them by or on behalf of any person other than STAAR, including any green proxy card and solicitation materials that may be sent to STAAR stockholders by or on behalf of Broadwood Group. If you have already voted “FOR” the Merger Proposal and the Compensation Proposal (as defined in the proxy statement), your vote remains valid and there is nothing else you need to do. 3

If you have not voted, we urge you to vote (1) “FOR” the Merger Proposal and (2) “FOR” the Compensation Proposal on the updated WHITE proxy card.

If you voted “Against” the Merger Proposal or the Compensation Proposal, we urge you to re-vote“FOR” both proposals using the instructions you received. Only the last validly executed proxy that you submit will be counted and such proxy will be counted only if it has been received by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 18, 2025.

Whether or not you plan to virtually attend the Special Meeting, please submit your proxy as soon as possible by following the instructions on the accompanying updated WHITE proxy card to make sure that your shares are represented at the meeting. If your shares are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, please follow the instructions on the voting instruction form furnished by the broker, bank or other nominee. You must provide voting instructions by filling out the voting instruction form in order for your shares to be voted.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities regulatory agency has approved or disapproved the Merger, passed upon the merits or fairness of the Merger or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of the disclosure in this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

This Supplement is dated November 17, 2025, and, together with the enclosed form of updated WHITE proxy card, is first being mailed to STAAR stockholders on or about November 17, 2025.
